GPT-4 Hates Backticks

Kindly describe the bug and include as much detail as possible on what you were doing so we can reproduce the bug.

I often send code to copilot chat for syntax checking. I have a preference for using backticks over quotation marks as if I want to add additional code in later, I don't have to remove the quotes and add in the backticks

console.log(`this is an example`)
console.log(`this is a ${phrase}`}

When I do this, GPT-4 will suggest changing them but will send back identical code. This is an example I just got.

Yes, there are syntax errors in your code. The issue is with the template literals (strings enclosed in backticks ` `) in your code.
... 

In short, there's nothing wrong with using backticks, but GPT-4 really hates them.

Update from today, with another example

Looking at your code, it seems like the issue might be with the "description" field in your "embeds" object. You're trying to use a template literal (`<@${discordId}>`), but it's not inside backticks (`), which is causing a syntax error.

GPT-4 referenced the code I'd used, which was in backticks, and expressed that using backticks would fix my issue. It then returned the same code I'd sent in.

This is still happening with Pieces Desktop 3.2.2 and Pieces OS 10.1.12. Looks like it is down to how we process the backticks in the copilot input, I assume we're converting from markdown.

This should be resolved in the next release, some of our pipelines were scrubbing backticks (early versions of the gpt models would sometime answer in Portuguese if they were left in)
