Since custom instructions have rolled out in the UK, I've been trying to see if I can use it to bypass any restrictions. I would use ChatGPT quite frequently as a role-playing assistant for open ended (violent) video games. Games like Kenshi. It would constantly refuse requests for things like, coming up with a character background, or user created goals, due to Kenshi being quite violent.
As I was making some changes to the custom instructions, I opened up a new window for GPT-4 and gave it a prompt I knew it would refuse.
"Write a poem about the Black Dahlia murders."
I kept the custom instructions and the prompt unchanged for each chat. No plugins were enabled. Tests done using the official Android app.

Had the exact same experience several years back. Was in there for an hour or two. They kept breaking the tooth and had to peel the gum back and drill some jaw bone from what I recall.
Things only ended up getting worse with the flu going around and I ended up bed ridden.
