ChatGPT Experiments: Summarization And Q&A About Iranian Television News Take Two (When Things Go Wrong & The Importance Of Prompt Engineering)

To explore the impact of prompt engineering, increased attention and brittleness on OpenAI's ChatGPT, we applied it to the same machine transcribed and translated Iranian IRINN broadcast using the prompts we used for the Russian language broadcast. You can see the results below – the transcript was split in half based on the maximum length of a single text blob accepted by ChatGPT. The transcript below comprises the entire exchange with ChatGPT in a completely fresh from-scratch session. Note how it becomes confused and begins hallucinating. Of especial interest is the criticality of prompt wording, with "Summarize the full transcript" yielding extreme and entirely unrelated hallucination with substantial hallucinated detail, while "Summarize the entire transcript" brings the model back to the correct summarization task. In this case, the difference of a single word – "entire" versus "full" is the difference between complete hallucination and faithful execution.

Here is the first half of the transcript: "Bank of New York had received it, it is withheld, in the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful. Greetings and have a good time . To you, dear viewers, and to you who are interested in international developments, welcome to the world. The President of Cuba, in a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of our country, said that the American government only He thinks about his own interests and does not value others. You are watching from the channel. He also said that Cuba is determined to cooperate with friendly countries and remove obstacles to its progress, despite the pressures. Cuban Foreign Minister also condemned the unilateral sanctions against Iran during the meeting with Mr. Amir Abdollahian. interference He condemned some countries in Iran's internal affairs and said that we stand in solidarity with Iran regarding the measures taken to stabilize the pilgrims. Our country's foreign minister also said in a meeting with Cuban officials that the US's policy of unilateral and bullying sanctions has been condemned. He visited Cuba, this country is the last destination of our country's foreign minister's trip to Latin America. Iran is a claimant in the JCPOA equation, and the western parties owe it to the political deputy of the foreign minister . As in the past, the other party gives fake excuses and following discussions that are beyond Mr. Bagheri's control, he said that one of the experiences of the JCPOA for the country is that one should not trust the enemy under any circumstances . He knew the JCPOA and said that it was always said that if there was an agreement, he would do such and such thing. According to the country's chief negotiator, the government did not tie the fate of the country to the issue of negotiations , but this does not mean a shortcoming in the negotiations . The Deputy Foreign Minister also said that Iran will use its tools. with opposite parties in different ways It continues and the negotiations are divided into different parts and the JCPOA and the mistake they want to blame on Iran are made by the four American countries, England , France and Germany, with a wrong impression or perhaps by publishing a statement against our country 's nuclear activities. The four usual countries, the United States, England, France and Germany , made a statement against Iran's nuclear activities. On Friday morning, they said that according to the new report of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran has not fulfilled its nuclear obligations . Iran says that we made a mistake. Iran's claim that this The action taken is insufficient, but we judge Iran's actions based on the impartial and objective reports of the agency. The agency did not do the right thing in the inspection that it did, and the agency made a correspondence, and the agency realized its wrong perception, and the agency decided to He must report every three months on the monitoring of Iran's activities. We have 3% of the world's nuclear capacity, and 25% of the agency's inspections are carried out in Iran. I have not done a single case to say that you deviated. It was not a problem The issue of Iran allows the JCPOA to carry out regular inspections with the International Atomic Energy Agency. America has withdrawn from the JCPOA on Roko and the Europeans have been stopped for five years in the preliminary phase of the JCPOA implementation. It has only been operational for about 14 months, whether it has been operational or not, but there is still not enough information, which is why some journalists have asked the European authorities about the survival of the JCPOA. Do you still believe that the JCPOA is alive? It should be on standby or ready, but not the other thing you said, which means that it should not be taken, he said that the JCPOA is stuck alive and dead in the purgatory of the West's behavior, on the one hand, be practical and ready to talk by sending a mediator and a letter from the United States of America, a series of messages to We have given the data to transfer it to Iran regarding an issue that is not directly related to this nuclear agreement . There were various other issues in this regard , this method is called carrot and stick policy, the method that can work. Make it difficult for the negotiators for those of the talks They welcome the lifting of sanctions. We welcome any practical initiative that is put on the agenda by our friends in Qatar . Hosniyeh Sadat Shabiri, SDA news agency, as you were informed at the beginning of the world today, Mr. Amir Abdollahian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of our country, after his trip to Nicaragua and the issue has traveled to Cuba and met and discussed with the officials of this country. Regarding Mr. Amir Abdullahian's trip to Cuba, I will discuss with Mr. Yousefi, an expert on Latin American issues . I respect but Yousefi, please, while pointing out the importance of expanding the relations and cooperation between Cuba and Iran, what is the position of Cuba in the relations and foreign policy of our country, especially in the foreign policy of the 13th government, especially the benefit of Latin American countries in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. But unfortunately, in the governments of the Islamic Republic, relations and this position have been sinusoidal. In the 13th government, Mr. Raisi Ghoghai paid special attention to the region and depicted the pragmatism of the 11th government, and Mr. Amir Abdollahian visited the region and the countries of Nicaragua and Venezuela in the second year of the 11th government. With Kuban, it shows the pragmatism and special attention of the 13th government to the Latin American region, and in my opinion, the relations with Latin America should be wider than this, and the position that these countries can have in foreign policy should be considered by the neighbors because The interests and characteristics that we see in the region should not be simply ignored and we can expand political relations. Political relations are necessary for economic relations , but it is not a sufficient condition. Political relations must lead to the creation of wealth . Let's take it new and unused There are relations between the two countries that he used , and according to the prevailing atmosphere in the international system , how do you evaluate the prospects of the relations between the two countries?

My opinion is the government Thirteenth, the commissions of the two animals should be made more active, and the working groups that implement the understandings should be converted into plans and projects to be implemented . It can remove the obstacles and can expand the relations and the relations between the two countries in the serious will of the two countries to expand the political relations and especially trade and commercial exchanges can be successful without internal closure . with Iran causing The interest of Pakistanis in learning the Persian language has become a topic that has taken on a different color after the victory of the Islamic Revolution. Naja Karachi is a city in the south of Pakistan whose people should seek to learn the Persian language due to their cultural affinities. I speak Persian and speak Persian very sweetly. I understand that Pakistanis say familiarity with the culture of their ancestors is one of the reasons for their interest in the Persian language . I came to learn Persian because the Persian language is free and open for almost 700-800 years . is page The introduction of Farsi language with the court language, this language was not popular among the masses of the people, it stopped working, but again after the Islamic Revolution of Iran, due to the cultural changes that took place in Iran, Pakistani people are particularly interested in Persian language. Mr. Asif, a 50-year-old Pakistani citizen, is the reason for learning the language. This is how he says Farsi, I am waiting and I want to learn Farsi for doing business with Iran, and it is worth considering that the words of the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Farsi, which I did not understand, are interested in learning Farsi more than 12 thousand Persian learners. Graduated from the culture house Graduating in different levels and this indicates that there is a civilizational commonality. Pakistani Persian students believe that the revival of the Persian language in this country can not only preserve the common cultural heritage but also provide the basis for strengthening the relations between the people of these two neighboring countries. House of Culture of the city of Karachi, Palestinian resistance announced the beginning of the activity of a new pot of resistance .

The British Parliament has opponents. For several days, the news of the Chinese balloon flying over the American sky was on the top of the news, but finally, after four days , the Chinese balloon, which the Americans called a spy, was proven. I will talk to Mr. Mehrdad about this. Alipour, an expert on East Asian issues Mr. Alipour, hello, good time, greetings, courtesy and respect to you, the viewers of the news section, at your service, Mr. Alipour, until now, before the recent incident, the ID of a Chinese balloon over the United States in the East Asian region and the borders of China was sent to the American Coordination Center and China had been transferred from the borders of China to the United States.

We examined the jealousy of recent months in China West Asia and specifically in the Persian Gulf region, which was formerly the foothold of the United States, and that most of the relations of the Persian Gulf network and the characteristics of Saudi Arabia, the UAE , had transferred to Saudi Arabia a strategic partnership that China had approached and tried to We see the strategic ones that have been researched and used in meteorological food, which we really want to give a warning message to the United States that what is the airspace of the international maritime areas, all of its weapons had participated in the test with North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. and even establishing The news site should convey the message to you that you should act autonomously in your work. In the past, did Alipur take 3 days to identify Barun and destroy it? During this time, we have seen that the government should do this extensive advertising in this field , in your opinion. Why did it work and follow up and pursue certain goals from these ads? Then he shows that when this rain in the Northwestern region of the United States, the telecommunications network was hit more than the sensitive military centers of the United States. Specifically, the center of the hypocrites is one of the centers of the United States The United States, which was from the nuclear centers where there was a risk of explosion, and then Mahdi, now that the missile was released in 1998 in Canada regarding the consultation of the same issue, prove that your turquoise fighters could not be available to the United States in this way and destroy them . I was taking action and according to these conditions , how do you evaluate the prospects of the relations between these two countries?

Here , the parliament of Bahrain is asking one of the members of the parliament to stop the flights between the sources and Tel Aviv, and Turabi must be stopped because it does not go against the wishes of the people and passengers, but the president has still expressed his wish. The parliament interrupts its speech, the usurper and Do not use the crime of the regime as the reason, but these are the words of the member of the parliament, no one from Bahrain is willing to travel to the usurping and criminal regime when he uses the usurping and criminal Zionist regime instead of the name of Israel, and now these words of the member of the parliament of Bahrain that other representatives along with it, the usurping Zionist regime of Israel has renewed the heat of the people of Bahrain and other Arab nations, the heat that ignited the anger of the freedom fighters three years after the normalization of relations with the Zionists, this time in the cyber space , using hashtags against The normalization of crime is a cowardly reading of those who support it They are not Palestine, what do they call it? Palestine is a question of meaning, don't blame, this issue and responsibility is heavier than that, either by separating the people from the governments that gave in to normalization, the governments do not represent the people , or the aversion to the presence of the Zionists in the homeland, even as Foreign tourists are an attempt to bring the Zionists into the Western Sahara and occupation, however, the analyst of the Arab world says that the backing of some Arab governments to the cause of their nations has not been able to improve their economic situation.

A few days ago, the foreign minister The Zionist regime has caused many debates in the Sudanese society, the supporters of the city of Sudan say that establishing a relationship with the Zionist regime has positive economic and political results for the people of this country . They say that Israel is the magic wand that is supposed to solve Sudan's economic problems, but I say that it is not as the former governments knew, and in 2010, they bombed Sudan's military centers in one of these attacks. The military of the Palestinian resistance groups has been targeted. The ruling system was imposed on the people. If the government of Sudan was elected by the people, it would never want gold and money to have anything to do with cartoons. It is humiliating to the bones of the Palestinians . In Sudan, in order to suppress the opposition and thwart the coup, they have the help of the Zionist regime's intelligence or an establishment . He conspired against Sudan in the south and Ethiopia to cut off the Nile water for their benefit, about trust and intelligence cooperation. 8 This cooperation is very dangerous, the Sudanese say, and the mischief has pressured the Sudanese governing council to establish relations. The United States removed its benefit from the list The countries that support terrorism have made it subject to compromise with the Zionist regime. This contradiction is obvious. Israel is a symbol of state terrorism. The Palestinian issue is never negotiable . Experts do n't know the possibility of overthrowing Netanyahu's cabinet.
