GPT-4 Custom Instructions: A Night and Day Difference

Switched from just asking broad ChatGPT prompts to using custom instructions with GPT-4 (version 4.0) and it’s a *night* and day difference. Previously, I’d spend ages refining vague requests, but now I can literally tell it to “Act as a concept artist specializing in Art Deco, generate a sketch of a robotic hummingbird with iridescent feathers, using a limited palette of teal, gold, and copper – 300dpi.” The level of control and the quality of the initial output is astonishing, it's like having a collaborator who *gets* my vision immediately.
