Hi all,
I’m looking for advice on how to prompt Gemini (or Gemma) to match the kind of responses I used to get from the original ChatGPT-4 model. As someone with dyslexia, I heavily relied on ChatGPT-4 for writing support. It was exceptionally good at catching and correcting subtle issues like:
- Ambiguous pronoun references (e.g., unclear “he,” “it,” or “they” usage)
- Inconsistent verb tenses (e.g., switching between past and present without context)
- Homophone confusion (e.g., mixing up “there,” “their,” and “they’re”)
Unfortunately, with ChatGPT-5 (or the more recent versions), I’ve noticed a decline in quality, especially in these nuanced areas. Previously, one-shot prompts worked well with GPT-4, but now I often have to retry multiple times or revert to tools like Grammarly.
Is there a specific prompting strategy I can use in Gemini to get responses similar to GPT-4’s earlier capabilities, particularly around nuanced language understanding and correction?
I’d love to hear from anyone experimenting with this, especially if Gemini can be tuned or prompted more effectively for this kind of language support.
Thanks in advance!
