In this paper, we extend the work of benchmarking GPT by turning GPT models into classifiers and applying them on three different Twitter datasets on Hate-Speech Detection, Offensive Language Detection, and Emotion Classification. We use a Zero-Shot and Few-Shot approach to evaluate the classification capabilities of the GPT models. Our results show that GPT models do not always beat fine-tuned models on the tested benchmarks. However, in Hate-Speech and Emotion Detection, using a Few-Shot approach, state-of-the-art performance can be achieved. The results also reveal that GPT-4 is more sensitive to the examples given in a Few-Shot prompt, highlighting the importance of choosing fitting examples for inference and prompt formulation.
