Did it work ?



I modified the suggested prompt to "adopt the role of academic and industry domain experts most qualified to answer" the first question I asked. I then asked it to teach me about VPNs. The response I got doesn't immediately seem inaccurate, and it overall feels more organized, I believe because of how terse it is. (I've seen ChatGPT use similar organization, but because of all the extra text it just feels messier.)

It left out some things (perhaps trying to be terse) and makes some questionable choices. As an example, it lists various VPN protocols, listing IPsec, followed by L2TP/IPsec, but never explains L2TP. It doesn't explain any of the protocols, but simply has an "Advantages" and "Disadvantages" section for each (this may just because of how I phrased my question). And the three follow up questions asked for by the system prompt were provided and are good questions, but two of them are effectively the same question.

As part of my question prompt I mentioned that incompatibilities between vendors is sometimes a problem for me. It provided a "Setup Consideration" section called "Compatibility" which only states that I should insure the protocol, client, etc. are compatible. Which is obviously a useless response to that part of my query.
