Access to OpenAI's GPT-4 model is more restricted than GPT-3.5, both in ChatGPT and through the API. This means that you need to carefully consider where to use GPT-4, and selectively give it the most suitable tasks in order to make it more effective.
GPT-4 current usage restrictions
As of this writing, to use ChatGPT with GPT-4, you must be a paid ChatGPT Plus subscriber. Also, you can only feed GPT-4 25 prompt words every three hours, and it replies very _slowly_.
In contrast, the GPT-3.5 Turbo default model is fast and efficient, and we have not found any usage limitations. However, GPT-4 significantly outperforms GPT-3.5 Turbo on certain types of tasks. In many cases, it is better to use GPT-4.
1. Optimize prompt words
Although GPT-4 is slow, it is smart. Although GPT-3.5 Turbo is fast, it sometimes responds too quickly, and the answer is not accurate or detailed due to lack of in-depth thinking and analysis. A nice use of GPT-4 in ChatGPT is to develop hint words for GPT-3.5. You can use a short cue word in GPT-4 to generate a long and detailed cue word, and then use GPT-3.5 Turbo to get a more precise and accurate response. This approach can help you achieve better results in less time than just using GPT-4.
Simply explain to GPT-4 what you need GPT 3.5 to do, and ask for a cue word to get that result. Then copy and paste the prompt into GPT-3.5.
2. Dealing with logic problems
Due to the strong reasoning ability of GPT-4, it is better at solving logic problems than GPT-3.5 Turbo. It can handle the puzzles and riddles that confuse the GPT-3.5 Turbo, and it's a great tool for anyone who likes to do brain teasers or needs logical analysis to aid in their work. Just be aware of the prompt word and response time limits when using GPT-4 for such tasks; it's best to include multiple steps in a single prompt word so you don't hit the message limit too quickly.
3. Optimize the answer of GPT 3.5
You can use the advanced language understanding capabilities of GPT-4 to validate and improve text generated by GPT-3.5 Turbo. You can refine the output by running the content generated by GPT-3.5 Turbo through GPT-4 and ensure it meets higher quality standards. This is especially useful for professional writing projects, where accuracy and clarity are paramount.
4. Complete complex coding tasks
GPT-4 outperforms its GPT 3.5 counterpart in terms of generating or understanding complex code. Its powerful learning ability can help developers debug code, optimize code and even help developers write code completely. It can provide insights and suggestions that GPT-3.5 Turbo may overlook, helping to improve development efficiency.
So you can use GPT 3.5 Turbo to quickly create code, and then use GPT-4 to debug or optimize that code in one go.
5. Make smart text tweaks
GPT-4's understanding of context and subtleties allows it to excel at subtle text transformation tasks. Whether you want to reformulate sentences, translate text, or adapt content for different audiences, GPT-4 can handle these tasks more accurately and more skillfully than GPT-3.5 Turbo. This is especially valuable for writers, marketers, and content creators who need to repurpose their work for a variety of platforms and audiences.
You can generate a lot of draft text with GPT 3.5 Turbo, feed it into GPT-4, rewrite it with a hint word or modify it in some way. Then wait for smarter AI models to work their magic.
6. Complete complex knowledge analysis and processing work
For tasks that require deep understanding of the subject matter, GPT-4 is the first choice. Its ability to understand complex topics has been greatly improved, and it is able to provide more accurate and detailed information than GPT-3.5 Turbo. Researchers, academics, and professionals can leverage GPT-4 for tasks such as literature study, in-depth analysis, and expert-level insights.
