The only thing I still use ChatGPT semi-frequently is to translate stuff, mainly from Japanese to my native language or English.
And I'm surprised how often it failed to follow the basic instruction of
Please translate the following paragraph to X-language.
(Paragraph in Japanese.)
And I have to say "Please translate the following paragraph to X-language" every single time -- I can't just say, "hey, please just translate paragraphs I give from now on." It won't follow it for very long before it starts to do other random stuff or tries to follow the content of the Japanese paragraphs I was trying to get translated.

I use 3.5 FWIW.
