You can refine your ChatGPT prompt until you get the desired results. I’ve sometimes found other programs easier for certain tasks though.
I suggest telling it to rewrite and keep all of the citations but tell it to format them a certain way. For example, say to use APA or MLA format in-text citations and include a list of references in that format at the end.
It’s very good at rewriting essays and such if you take the time to interact and clarify your expectations for a few iterations.
I tried many https://chat.openai.com/ times to get it to take excerpts of a YouTube transcript, without time stamps, and which is a wall of text, and it failed to process successfully repeatedly if I tried more than about 200 words. But https://poe.com/chat/2j9gkh0vsq6lvq2w0s0 worked, which I did with up to 800 word excepts, and each time I instructed it, "in rendering transcripts readable (to humans) to always just add punctuation, paragraph spacing, capitalization of pronouns, and place any interpolation being in brackets." Otherwise it wants to paraphrase with much reduction. A sample of the results of Genesis Impact (2020), is
You see, we have four curves in our spine to facilitate upright walking, while chimps just have a slight bend over their entire spine. He based this assumption on the reconstruction of Ardi's pelvis and the belief that Ardi probably had six lower spine vertebrae, but they didn't actually find any of her lower spine vertebrae. No, but they were able to reconstruct what they think the pelvis looked like, and that helped them guess what the lower spine may have looked like.
How many lower spine vertebrae do chimps have? Most apes typically have three or four, uh, humans have five. Okay, so they don't have any of her lower spine vertebrae, so they added some imaginary ones, gave her a couple extra beyond what typical apes have, gave her an entire imaginary spine complete with a human-like curve, and fed it up to a hole in the imagined base of her skull with some neck vertebrae which they also didn't find.As for my page, I am working on it myself. Thanks.
