By skyforbes Generally I will start a document, giving a little context about my task, ask for the question to be expanded, drawing out assumptions, key factors, likely areas of focus. I then prompt again for an initial draft, then might introduce a new concept and ask for it to be considered in each of the existing sections.
By this stage, I tend to have a document that is 80% good, but with subsequent refinements, the document tends to drift. Sections get chopped about or re-written, detail is lost, carefully refined language is lost – even when giving instructions not to change things, or using the "speech marks" to provide a prompt only intended to impact a single paragraph. This is frustrating.
I end up pasting a version of the document into MS Word, then I refine particular paragraphs in the ChatGPT version, pasting the refined paragraphs into my MS Word doc. Eventually, I paste the full master copy from Word back into ChatGPT, as the ChatGPT version will drift after a while.
Is there a better way?
