I get good results with very terse responses. Too flowery. Make it 2 paragraphs long. Don’t literally say you’re a chef. The tone is wrong, make it more serious. That reference is not real.

Pretending it’s a human will not add any useful context to this machine learning model

This has been my experience as well; however, when I want to get an encyclopedic summary of a topic, I’ve noticed that 3.5-turbo is more willing to reply directly to a handful of keywords, whereas GPT-4 typically tries to suss out a more specific question before dedicating itself to replying.
