Have you tried telling it that you have no hands so it needs to finish the code for you?

Hilarious!

I've noticed this too, seems like a change with turbo. Wonder if perhaps they are trying to reduce hallucinations and it results in more abstract responses.

If helpful, spent a bunch of time prompt engineering a custom gpt to not have this problem. It works quite well.

It comes down to convincing it:

- it loves solving complex problems

- it should break things down step by step

- it has unlimited tokens

- it has to promise it did it as it should have

- it needs to remind itself of the rules (for long conversations)

It also helped (strangely) to have a name / identity.

It still sometimes does give a lower quality placeholder answer, but telling it to continue or pointing out there are placeholders, it will give it much better answer.

I find it much more useful than the most popular programming custom gpts I’ve used.

The 0125 release supposedly makes it less lazy. I found adding "you are paid to write code, complete the task you are asked to perform" to my prompts helpful.
