Yeah I can't wait to get API access to gpt-4, it is a stepwise more capable based on the stuff I've done with chatgpt on gpt-4.

That said, even gpt-3.5 will try multiple routes to get to the same endpoint. It seems to get distracted pretty easily though.

One demo of gpt-4’s superiority over gpt-3 is to come up with a prompt that determines the language of some given text.

I couldn’t figure out a gpt-3 prompt that could handle “This text is written in French” correctly (it thinks it’s written in French), but with gpt-4 you can include in the prompt to disregard what the text says and focus on the words and grammar that it uses.

That’s true, gpt-4 is way more easy to guide with the system messages and it doesn’t forget the instructions as the conversation goes on.
