> In the end, it took about 8 hours to get this project finished, which was spread out over multiple weeks. Considering that I usually fill my bottle once a day, and it takes about 50 seconds to do so, this will have a positive return-on-investment after only about 1.5 years!

Spoken like a true programmer. :)

What part of my comment did you miss? I already mentioned government-related stuff. Cryptocurrency is not government related.

I can make GPT4 return valid JSON simply by providing examples in the system message. This works nine times out of ten.

But it's still probabilistic, and nine times out of ten isn't good enough.

Occasionally it will hallucinate responses like this:

{"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2" for i in range(n)}

Re-prompting with the parsing error message is usually enough to get it on the second try.

But escaping double-quotes and newline characters is less reliable. Even after giving it multiple examples, it correctly escapes only about half the time.

Re-prompting for escaping errors still yields a ~50% success rate.
