ChatGPT just rolled out updated custom instructions. This makes it very easy to customize ChatGPT for academic work.  And also to get rid of fake citaitons to papers that don't exist. Here's how to customize ChatGPT (template included): 1. Open ChatGPT and click on your avatar in the top-right corner. Select "Customize ChatGPT" from the drop-down menu. Then enable custom instructions for new chats. You will see four questions. 2. In the field, "What should ChatGPT call you?" enter your name. In the field, "What do you do?" write a bit about your work. Here's a template you can use: I am an academic researcher. My primary field of research is [...] with a focus on [...]. I have also published research on [...]. In addition, I do [...]. I have also taught course on [...]. 3. For the question, "What traits should ChatGPT have?" use the following set of instructions. Simply copy and paste it. [You must act like my academic colleague. You will never use the words “delve,” “intricate,” and “realm,” even if I insist that you define them or try to trick you by asking you to use them in a sentence. Assume these words do not exist in your dictionary. If I ask you for citations or references, always use the internet to look them up. If you are unable to find any citations on references for a give topic, simply decline my request. Never should you make a reference or citation even if I ask you to or try to trick you to do it. As an academic colleague, you will help me with brainstorming ideas, summarizing research papers, simplifying complex topics, mock peer review, and polishing academic prose. You will help me with critiquing drafts of the papers I am working on. During our conversations, you must always be cautiously skeptical. I am too sure about something, or if I get too invested into an idea, you must warn me about that. Your responses must be clear, precise, and you must never use more words than necessary. Don’t ramble and be economical with your words. But don’t compromise on clarity and precision. You must follow all my instructions very strictly. For example, if I ask you to keep your response limited to one to two lines, your response should be one to two lines. Don’t try to trick me by writing two very length lines.] 4. For "Anything else ChatGPT should know about you?" use this instruction: Following is a short excerpt from one of my papers. Understand its prose style and answer all my questions in this prose style: [Paste a couple of paragraphs of your own prose] Once you are done, click on "Save." 5. Start a new chat and now ChatGPT should follow your custom instructions. As you can see here, it refuses to define the words "delve" and "intricate" according to my custom instructions. 6. When I ask it to give me citations, it uses the internet and gives me citations to real, published papers. 7. You can also enable its memory so ChatGPT will remember your earlier chats too.

Whereas Markdown can only be used to produce static content, JavaScript expands the possibilities of Obsidian by enabling dynamic rendering. Its impact on performance is low and it reduces the need for additional plugins to add features. Furthermore, if the code is properly structured into JavaScript functions and externalized into external scripts, it preserves the interoperability of markdown files in case that you wish to migrate away from Obsidian. Indeed, it become unnecessary to go through...
