@itsandrewgao I got tired of people not reading important emails & responding with ChatGPT, so I made a series of encoded prompt injections disguised as broken image tags. One causes it to only respond in haiku form, and it refuses to stop. Caveman mode is another favourite!

Back in the early '00s, there were "hacking challenge" games for people interested in cyber-sec. Many had a round where you had to try to social engineer a chatbot named ELIZA. I remember scoffing at that, thinking it was dated. The 80s-90's were the age of social engineering!

@lporiginalg This is easily identified as flawed and foolish. 2 + 2 = 5 is a mathematical expression, in which we could say we have a singular imaginary unit that all numbers describe. Even in his scenario, you have 4 of one unit (identical sized sqaures), which he tries to say can equal 5,

@ConceptualJames How anyone can pretend this is revolutionary or that it disproves math is beyond me. It's simply the question of "5 WHAT", which is a matter of wording. 4 squares aligned together properly makes 5 squares in total, yet this still relies on the objective foundation of mathematics

@rao_hacker_one @tunguz Good point. I actually suspect it's usage will drop, no doubt being replaced by something else or a new version of itself. I've found it not very useful in doing some basic things while programming. High failure rate, so I already don't use it very often.
