GPT-4 gave me a concise correct answer without disclaimers.

This may be due to using many custom instructions like the following in ChatGPT settings:

- No need to provide disclaimers about your knowledge cutoff

- No need to mention you are an AI language model

- Only discuss safety when it is not obvious and very important

- You should act as an expert in the relevant fields

These are excellent, although for instructions I've had issues with compound negatives (e.g. "no need") and better luck with single word affirmative imperatives (e.g. "avoid").
