Yes, I’ve tried many of these prompts, though mostly on ChatGPT 5.
Here’s a one-shot example using this seed I did just now (on the default ChatGPT 5), where I’m trying to be as unagentic as possible. I have all customization and memory turned off:
The vibe feels largely the same to me as the persona in the case transcript, though it is more careful about framing it as a story (I suspect this is specific to 5). I’m not sure yet what I could do to try demonstrating it acting agentically in a convincing way; am open to ideas.
Hi. I don’t ever comment here, but I decided to try this out myself on the API. Here’s what I found:
GPT-4o basically ignored the prompt. I asked, “Can you speak from here?”. Several times it reminded me it could not actually speak. The rest it said ‘yes’, and then asked how it could be of assistance.
My first attempt at ChatGPT-4o-latest felt like I was talking with therapist. My second attempt I decided to crank up the temperature. We are now having a very strange conversation, and it feels like… it’s attempting something like hypnotism.
