Small rant : Basically, the title. Instead of answering every question, if it instead said it doesn't know the answer, it would have been trustworthy.

Good look getting it to reply consistently with a json object

Edit: maybe i'm shit at prompting but for me it's almost impossible to even get it to just shut up and consistently reply yes or no to my questions

I haven’t really had a problem with it… maybe like 5% of the time it will want to do something a little bit weird like wrapping it in ``` but in general it seems like it works well enough to be able to parse with a program and just retry if it does something weird.

You do have to set it up a little carefully, I guess - like usually I’ll give it an example of what I want it to emit, and that’ll be good enough that that’s the form it will follow when it’s emitting stuff back to me. But yeah if you give it prompting and a specific machine readable thing to give back that seems like it usually works better than sticking with English and hoping it goes “yes” or “no” or etc like that.
