This is a perfect example of how not to write a system prompt :)

Has any of this been verified by other sources? It seems either they've cleaned it up, or this is a smear campaign.

Easy way to verify, ask it about vaccines

What an amateurish way to try and make GPT-4 behave like you want it to.

And what a load of bullshit to first say it should be truthful and then preload falsehoods as the truth...

Disgusting stuff.

How do we know these are the AI chatbots instructions and not just instructions it made up? They make things up all the time, why do we trust it in this instance?

Wasn't this last week?

So with these AI they literally just…. Give it instructions in English? That’s creepy to me for some reason.

'tis how LLM chatbots work. LLMs by design are autocomplete on steroids, so they can predict what the next word should be in a sequence. If you give it something like:

Here is a conversation between the user and a chatbot.

User:

Chatbot:

Then it'll fill in a sentence to best fit that prompt, much like a creative writing exercise

I read biological sex as in only the sex found in nature is valid and thought "wow there's probably some freaky shit that's valid"

[–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 13 points 7 months ago

There's more than one species that can fully change its biological sex mid lifetime. It's not real common but it happens.

Male bearded dragons can become biologically female as embryos, but retain the male genotype, and for some reason when they do this they lay twice as many eggs as the genotypic females.

Ah, telling on themselves in a way which is easily made viral, nice!
