Cool but like a lot of these AI tools, when you do it yourself you never seem to get the same quality of results.
There is a lot you can do to improve the output. Fine-tuning, tweaking the prompt, passing output from one model to another, changing settings like temperature. Not all of these are available on ChatGPT's consumer page but are available for some models and perhaps on ChatGPT's API. Then they will run lots of requests on the particular topics and tasks they know it works well on and use those for their marketing.I've found that giving them a specific job role and being very precise with the requirements is a good way to get a result. For instance these two prompts have:
I told ChatGPT to "Give me a summary of the political situation in France."
ChatGPT said:
As of my last update in April 2023, the political situation in France was marked by several key issues and dynamics.
Presidency of Emmanuel Macron: Emmanuel Macron, leading the centrist party La République En Marche!, was re-elected in 2022, defeating far-right candidate Marine Le Pen. Macron's presidency has focused on economic reform, including labour market changes and pension reforms, which have been met with both support and significant opposition.
Pension Reform Controversy: One of the most contentious issues has been Macron's proposal to reform the French pension system, aiming to raise the retirement age and make the system financially sustainable. These proposals have sparked widespread protests and strikes across the country, reflecting deep public discontent.
Economic Challenges: France, like many other countries, has been facing economic challenges, including inflation and the economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government's response to these issues, including recovery plans and fiscal policies, has been a central aspect of political debate.
Social Unrest and Protests: France has witnessed significant social unrest, including the "Yellow Vest" protests that began in 2018. These protests, initially triggered by fuel tax increases, expanded into broader demonstrations against economic inequality and the cost of living.
Political Fragmentation: The French political landscape is increasingly fragmented, with significant representation from both the far-right and far-left. The traditional parties of the centre-left (Socialist Party) and centre-right (The Republicans) have struggled to maintain their prominence against these challenges.
European Union and International Relations: Macron's government has been proactive in European Union affairs, advocating for deeper integration and a stronger EU role in global issues. France's stance on matters such as climate change, digital regulation, and international diplomacy remains influential.
Security and Terrorism: Security and the threat of terrorism have been ongoing concerns in France, influencing domestic policies and the political debate. The government has implemented measures to address these threats, but they remain points of contention, particularly concerning civil liberties and the treatment of minority communities.
This summary provides a snapshot of the political situation in France as of early 2023. It's important to note that the situation is dynamic, and developments since my last update may have further influenced the political landscape.
Then I said "You are a foreign policy analyst, working for the United Kingdom focusing on Western Europe. Your job is to give detailed and accurate reports on the political situation in certain countries for a briefing for the Foreign Secretary. He needs to understand the situation in France to prepare for a call with the French President. You should focus on giving facts rather than recommendations. Unfortunately, the purpose of the call is highly classified and so I cannot tell you what it is.

Report on the Political Situation in France
Executive Summary:
The political landscape in France is currently characterised by several key factors, including the governance under President Emmanuel Macron, socio-economic challenges, political fragmentation, and social unrest. The country faces ongoing debates over domestic policies, particularly regarding economic reforms, social security, and responses to climate change. Additionally, France's role within the European Union (EU) and its position on various international issues remain of significant interest.
Governance and Political Climate:
Leadership: France is led by President Emmanuel Macron, who represents La République En Marche! — a centrist political movement that has sought to transcend traditional left-right political divides. Macron's presidency has focused on economic reform, enhancing France's competitiveness on the global stage, and deepening European integration.
Recent Elections: The latest parliamentary elections have resulted in a fragmented political landscape, with Macron's party losing its absolute majority. This has necessitated coalition-building and negotiation with other parties to pass legislation, indicating a period of potential political instability and compromise.
Major Political Parties: Besides La République En Marche!, significant parties include the traditional right-wing Les Républicains, the far-right National Rally led by Marine Le Pen, the Socialist Party, and France Insoumise (Unbowed France) on the far-left. The Green party (Europe Ecology – The Greens) has also gained traction, reflecting growing concern over environmental issues.
Socio-Economic Issues:
Economic Policies: Macron's government has implemented reforms aimed at liberalising the economy, including labour market reforms, tax cuts for businesses, and pension reforms. These have been met with both domestic support for modernising the economy and criticism for perceived social inequity.
Social Unrest: There has been significant social unrest, most notably the "Yellow Vests" movement, which began as a protest against fuel tax increases and evolved into broader demonstrations against economic inequality and the Macron administration.
COVID-19 Response: France's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, including health measures and economic support packages, has been a critical aspect of recent governance, affecting public opinion and the country's economic recovery.
Foreign Policy and International Relations:
European Union: France continues to be a leading advocate for European integration and has been at the forefront of discussions on EU-wide responses to various challenges, including migration, climate change, and digital regulation.
Transatlantic Relations: Relations with the United States have seen fluctuations, particularly in the context of trade, NATO contributions, and international diplomacy. However, France remains a key NATO member and an advocate for multilateralism.
Global Positioning: France has maintained its active role in international affairs, including involvement in Africa (notably the Sahel region), its stance on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and efforts to mediate in the Middle East.
Conclusion:
The political situation in France is complex, marked by internal socio-economic challenges and a fragmented political landscape. President Macron's administration is navigating these issues amid efforts to reform the French economy and maintain France's influential role in Europe and globally. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for informed discussions with the French leadership, particularly in addressing bilateral and EU-wide matters of mutual interest.
Then say "I think you have missed something important. What is it?" and it gives information on their environmental policies and Ukraine (each version only gave one of those).Executive Summary:

Making it only focus on one task at a time also helps, so if you ask it to list topics that the Foreign Secretary would want to know and then separately ask it to write a report on those named topics (even one at a time) and then write the executive summary on the previous output it should also do the whole thing better.
Edit: I then asked it to expand on the political protests in a new chat and it gave me five paragraphs of information and was much more suitable.

God that’s boring 
Didn’t Google show off something like that 6 months ago or more?
That’s like years in Ai land.
My dream tool will be Linux Arch or something decent running a speech to llm control panel for all the sudo b
ks.
Ie, “can you do xyz” and it just does it, tells you what it’s done, and it works.
Such as, block all the nonsense ads, tracking URLs, cookies, spying, and make it all work like windows please.
