Differences in response between the GPT3 and GPT4 models when creating custom prompts.

As you begin to create custom prompts with Insights IA, you may have wondered what the difference is between choosing GPT-3 or GPT-4. In this article, we explain the key differences so you can choose the option that best suits your needs. 🧐

💡 Check out our Beginner's Guide to create Prompts! It's an absolute must-have to ensure you get the BEST prompts!🔥

Comprehension and response capacity 🧠

GPT-3

It responds consistently and accurately in most cases. However, it may have limitations for very complex or specific contexts.

GPT - 4

Has a better sense of who the character is and can step into their shoes. Also has a better grasp of technical and specialized contexts and can write more effectively in those areas.

Structure and writing 📑

GPT - 3

It produces texts that are poorly structured. There is a lack of bolding to highlight important points and a lack of text formatting (H1, H2, etc.).

GPT - 4

It provides answers in a clear and easy-to-read structure with section headings, bold type, bullet points, etc.

Choose the GPT4 version. It's a great way to make your answers easier to read. You'll find it much easier to spot the part of the text you're most interested in 😉

Creativity and consistency 💡

GPT - 3

It offers creative answers, but it can also ramble and generate less coherent and generic responses.

GPT - 4

Improves the coherence of long answers while maintaining creativity. Argues your answers, offers recommendations and suggestions for improvement, and provides practical examples. Ideal for more structured writing with impeccable logical flow.

Example of a comparison between the two versions

Here is a comparative example between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.0. You'll see that with the same instructions, we get very different answers. 🤓

We have analyzed the Top 50 publications with the highest ER by audience in the streaming platforms sector in Spain during June 2024 with the help of Insights IA.

✏️ Insights AI instructions:

You are an expert brand analyst with more than 20 years of experience. Based on the analyzed publications, assess whether young people of the millennial generation (between 25 and 35 years old) perceive FlixOlé as the optimal platform for watching classic Spanish films. Provide rationale for your assessment. Additionally, suggest potential modifications to the communication strategy to better align it with this objective. Provide examples of publications that align with this objective.

📌 Response obtained using the GPT-3 model.

📌 Response obtained using the GPT-4 model.

In conclusion, if you are seeking a model that can perform general tasks with a high degree of accuracy, GPT-3 is an excellent option. If you require a solution that can demonstrate depth, consistency, and adaptability in more complex contexts, GPT-4 is the optimal choice.
