Really this is where you’re better off just jumping to GPT-3. OpenAI has obviously now muddied the waters with the Chat API, let alone making it so damn cheap. But ChatGPT has been tuned to be conversational and verbose. My experience has been that getting what you want by raw-dogging GPT-3 is much more fruitful.

That's my current dilemma. Building a machine-like (in the sense of "responses look like what the 1980s imagined computers will respond like", vs ChatGPT's "responses look like what an overly-human-like p-zombie would say") agent with well-defined output syntax seems to be both easier and harder to build with ChatGPT. I'm kind of on the fence with regards to which one I want to use.

Raw dogging is generally a more fruitful approach.
