Conversation between Nik and ChatGPT

Nik: Please create an enhancement request for OpenAI. Every day I request help with creating Github issues from ChatGPT. Whenever there is a snippet embedded in a snippet, the output ways brakes. Multiple attempts never fixes the issue. Occasionally, but not always switching from GPT-4o to GPT-4 helps, but only intermittently. Sample:

ChatGPT: Certainly, I can help create an enhancement request for OpenAI based on your issue with embedding snippets within snippets. Here's a draft for the request:

Title: Enhancement Request: Improve Handling of Embedded Snippets in ChatGPT Responses

Description:

I frequently use ChatGPT for creating GitHub issues, which often include Markdown snippets containing other programming language snippets. However, the output frequently breaks whenever there is a snippet embedded within another snippet. Multiple attempts to rectify the issue often fail. Occasionally, switching between GPT-4 and GPT-4-turbo (GPT-4o) helps, but this solution is intermittent and unreliable.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Request ChatGPT to create a GitHub issue with embedded snippets. 2. Observe that the output often breaks when snippets are nested within other snippets.

Sample Expected Output:

### Issue: Add `apple-app-site-association` for `example.app`

#### Description
The `apple-app-site-association` file needs to be configured and made accessible for iOS.

#### Steps to Complete
1. **Create the `apple-app-site-association` file**:
    Ensure the following JSON configuration is used:
    ```json
    {
      "applinks": {
        "apps": [],
        "details": [
          {
            "appID": "XXXXXXXXXX",
            "paths": ["*"]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
    ```

2. **Place the file**:
    Ensure the file is placed in the `.well-known` directory for `example.app`.

3. **Verify access**:
    Confirm that the file is accessible by making a request to:
    ```sh
    curl https://example.app/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
    ```

Expected Output:

The output should correctly format the nested snippets without breaking.

Actual Output:

The nested snippets often cause the output to break, leading to formatting issues and incomplete code blocks.

Interim Solutions:

1. Manually adjust the output after generation. 2. Occasionally switch between GPT-4 and GPT-4-turbo (GPT-4o), though this is not consistently reliable.

Impact:

This issue significantly affects productivity as it requires manual intervention to correct the formatting of nested snippets, defeating the purpose of using ChatGPT for automation.

Request:

Please enhance the model's ability to handle and correctly format nested snippets within Markdown, ensuring that the output remains intact and usable without requiring manual adjustments.
