Just got access to ChatGPT's Deep Research function and tried it with a long prompt👇
The prompt asks ChatGPT to collect data from a specific database, analyze it, and write a report. Also mentions a website that shouldn't be used.
Took a while but the results are very impressive🤯
The first time you run a prompt like this, Deep Research asks you for certain clarifications.
I answered its questions and then it got to work.
It looked up 57 sources before it started compiling its answer.
Looking up relevant sources took it around 10 minutes. But compiling took it around an hour. It's a bit slow at the moment but that's expected. It will surely become more efficient.
The results are very impressive.
For starters, there are little to no hallucinations. This alone is a remarkable advancement.
It was able to look up that are easily available like the number of convictions.
But it couldn't go within the database to look up desired stats like the number of immigrants from a particular country. For that it relied on other sources and Wikipedia.
ChatGPT just rolled out updated custom instructions.
This makes it very easy to customize ChatGPT for academic work.
And also to get rid of fake citaitons to papers that don't exist.
Here's how to customize ChatGPT (template included):
1. Open ChatGPT and click on your avatar in the top-right corner.
Select "Customize ChatGPT" from the drop-down menu. Then enable custom instructions for new chats.
You will see four questions.
2. In the field, "What should ChatGPT call you?" enter your name.
In the field, "What do you do?" write a bit about your work.
Here's a template you can use:
I am an academic researcher. My primary field of research is [...] with a focus on [...]. I have also published research on [...]. In addition, I do [...]. I have also taught course on [...].
I lived in the US 🇺🇸 for several years and now I live in Denmark 🇩🇰
Here's a comparison of the two countries (based on my experiences):
1. Free Health
🇺🇸You or your employer have to pay for health insurance. The US is the only country in the developed world without universal healthcare. More than 100 million Americans are in medical debt.
🇩🇰Denmark has universal healthcare. Anyone living in Denmark — citizen or alien — is issued with a yellow-colored health card with the name of their primary care doctor. You can see your doctor at no charge.
If your doctor refers you to a specialist and they have a long waitlist, you can see a private doctor. In that case, the municipality (kommune) will pay for your treatment.
Dental, chiropractic, and prescriptions are also subsidized.
2. Dental Care for Children
🇺🇸You have to pay for your children's dental care and treatment.
🇩🇰Children under 18 receive free dental care. If your child's dentist recommends braces, they can get them for free. You may have to wait for a few months or a year though.
You can see a private dentist too, if you want to.
Even private dental treatments in Denmark are more affordable than in the US.
