> I looked at your prompt history with the German article, and I can see that the reason it fails is that you prompt incorrectly. When you want to give certain information or context to the LLM, say, your codebase, or some documentation, or some article, you gotta put it first in your prompt, and at the very bottom you should put your instructions. This apparently makes it easier for the LLM to parse your request.

Good to know — I somehow failed to be aware of this before now despite playing with these models since the days of AI Dungeon (for open source models) and text-davinci-003 (from OpenAI).

The second part is important — checking the translation was how I knew the it was making things up in the "translated" timeline.
