Will replies to ten well-engineered GPT-4 prompts in my area of expertise outperform my own answers to them?

Example of what I mean by a well-engineered prompt:
"The following is an excerpt from the 'Guyton & Hall' authoritative textbook on human physiology. It describes the respective roles of RAAS, ANP, and ADH in controlling plasma osmolality and free water clearance through their effects on renal tubular transport."
Currently, I find ChatGPT's and GPT3's answers to questions of this complexity to sound convincing. However, when examined more closely they turn out to be factually wrong and inconsistent often enough to be useless.

Resolution based on the best judgment of a friend of mine who has tech expertise yet enough understanding of biomed sciences to be able to competently judge. (I was convinced that I might be biased, so I changed this from me resolving it based on my own best judgment.)
Since I will base my future use of GPT for study purposes on its performance relative to myself, I am incentivized to judge as truthfully as possible.

Since the creator's friend has not shown up, I'm resolving N/A. If he shows up to make a judgement, we can always re-resolve later.

@elibutchad Can this resolve?

predicted NO

This can resolve, no?

I have created a myriad of markets attempting to encapsulate weaknesses and strengths of ChatGPT via various prompt and prompt engineering questions. I'm not sure if this is helpful or not to answer your question.

What will the prompts be asking? Big difference between asking something that is well known and can be found online vs. asking about something it would have to figure out for itself.

@IsaacKing see prompt, it is stuff that is well known, can be found online but highly specific and involves integrating understanding of several complicated mechanisms

bought Ṁ50 of NO

it'll take way longer to identify the mistakes, and they'll be just as severe as GPT3

What is your area of expertise?
