Are you still struggling to get good answers from the new ChatGPT-5? And even after using OpenAI's prompt optimizer and their cookbook, do you feel like it's a wrestling match with a clever Ph.D. student determined to misunderstand you?
It's not you doing something wrong.
If GPT-4 was like a dinghy that got an engine with good prompting, then GPT-5 is like a modern speedboat with four big engines. The model is fundamentally different, and no one has really invented the steering wheel for it yet. OpenAI hasn't been much help either, apart from giving access to the old models because people complained so much.
That's why I've written a 45-page guide with thoroughly tested methods from spending a month in close combat with GPT-5's many horsepower.
The guide also addresses confidentiality by introducing a two-step process, so you avoid dilemmas about what you can share with the "open" models. And as a concrete tool, on page 43, you'll find a two-step method you can use in all situations with GPT-5.
I hope you find it useful.
