There's not a lot of context for these notifications to work with, so it's not surprising they're bad, even though it is surprising they are this bad. (I wonder if it would be able to summarize the prior sentence!)

In some ways it reminds me of the titles that the OpenAI interface applies to our conversations. It has gotten better over time, but I still have it do weird things like provide titles in Spanish for Rust programming questions that used no language other than English.

When I wrote an AI assistant forever ago now, I kept tweaking the prompt to ask it for title summaries. At some point I had to start threatening the assistant so it would provide me the format I wanted with passive aggressive instructions like "Including semicolons or subtitles will mean you failed your task. You don't want to fail, do you?

Granted that was with GPT 3.5 so today's models should perform much better

The Spanish thing – is there any chance it was Portuguese?

Because .rs → rsrsrs, which is lol in Portuguese. Which would be a genius move.

It's a great theory but it wasn't Portuguese, unfortunately!
