Hi all,

I've been busy these days, so I haven't had time to post here.

Anyways, has anyone noticed that ChatGPT doesn't use the, β€’ symbol anymore? It just gives you responses in a paragraph not in a buleeted list anymore.
Is it me, or has anyone beside me seen this change before?

Looking forward to your responses!

Hi, I consider myself a power ChatGPT user. I’m a paying subscriber , heavily use ChatGPT both on my Windows machine and my iOS device and only 5% of my usage involves identifying/describing visual things. chatGPT both in the text mode as well as the advanced voice mode is heavily customizable. A while ago in the text mode, which is relevant here with regards to bullets and punctuations and such, I clearly instructed my AI there to never include emojis and unnecessary punctuation such as has marks and signs and and so on so forth unless it was absolutely necessary as part of the spelling of the word or a phrase. I also instructed it at the same time to always tabulate it’s response anytime it makes sense, make all this responses to me hundred percent accessible and usable to screen readers because I am blind, and to indeed include a bulleted list whenever any part of this response doesn’t make sense to put in a table and use bullets instead. I asked it to put all this in his memory. i’ve had to remind it to put it back in its memory when it has deviated from this however after two or three times when it deviated from my instructions and each time refreshed/put it again in its memory, I get all the text responses as per my instructions. The key Takeaway for any ChatGPT user is that the golden key extract more than you can think is possible and absolutely minimize hallucination is intelligent prompt engineering practices and giving it very clear instructions on how you want it to response to be presented to you. The beauty I have found with ChatGPT both in the advanced voice mode as well as the Tax version is how it can be customized making me the one in charge to get the information I want in the way I want and not passively be OK with whatever ChatGPT decides on its own. so my recommendation to you would be to always be in charge and give it very clear instructions on how you want the results on the responses to be presented to you and last but again not the least, employee articulate and intelligent prompt engineering whenever you ask anything.
