Notes -
Can you provide a good prompt template and the set of hyperparameters (temperature, top p, etc) to make gpt-4 play doctor?
If you're using ChatGPT 4, I heard it's being rather reticent on giving medical advice.
The only relevant parameter I personally changed was temperature, and even then it was at the standard 0.5 as far as I can recall. I didn't see top-P being exposed, though I know what it is from fucking around in the OAI Playground.
The system prompt was usually bog standard, checking the version I use right now, it just says "You are a helpful assistant".
Keep in mind that most of my exposure to it was through rather bootleg techniques and fly-by-night discord bots. God knows what they're being prompted with, but the best and most consistent one seems to use absolutely standard settings as far as I can tell.
I didn't need any prompt engineering techniques at all, but if you want a rough idea of my usual prompting:
I am junior doctor-
trying to understand concept X, please explain it to me.
Seeking to improve my clinical skills, please generate clinical vignettes on topic X, and then grade my response.
Explain guidelines X to me.
Or:
"Discuss and contrast endopthalmitis and TASS"
"I'm a junior doctor wanting to brush up on my clinical skills. Generate a clinical vignette, and I'll attempt to make a diagnosis and tt plan. Grade me on my response and correct any error."
The last two are copied verbatim. They work absolutely fine.
I suspect that telling it I'm a doctor is sufficient for it to avoid dumbing things down, not that it does so from my personal experience.
