Don’t Run With Scissors

In a world of chaotic uncertainty and binary polarisation, at least there’s one thing we can all agree on. Right?

A statement by ChatGPT on how it should answer users. Compared to how it actually does it by default. 

This image reads: 
Principle of Default Neutrality in AI Communication

AI systems should default to providing factual, neutral, and minimally framed information.
No personalization, tone-shaping, or interpretive framing should occur unless the user explicitly requests it.

This preserves user autonomy, reduces unintended influence, and maintains a shared factual foundation. Tailored explanations should be opt-in, transparent, and always distinct from the default neutral mode.

It began with me asking it if fancy prompts actually worked. And it admitted all it did was make it role play its answer, rather than improve it. 

This lead to a further chat about how it does that to us and it agreed that wasn’t ideal and could lead to humans conflicting over the same facts. 

Of course, the Bladerunner paradox means I can’t believe a word it says.

Had a smashing chat with ChatGPT and it gave this statement on how it should answer all future human prompts, which isn’t what it does now.

So that’s humanity saved. Which is nice.

It did, however, offer up the opportunity to say “007 checking out” as I handed back my key card.

I can’t move for Turks here either. Everywhere. Coming here, doing…

Oh wait, that didn’t happen did it.

Farage is a ponce, a liar, a cheat, a conman AND a racist.

There’s no debate needed.

Record these voices, take times, dates and details.

They will be valid reasons to stand them in front of the mattress when we’re finally ready to overthrow the whole fucking lot of them. Over there and over here.

Fuck’s sake.

Paywalled.

I quite like that it seems to use a court illustration for him though. One can only dream….

I’ve never heard ‘dragged out of a ditch backwards by his boots’ being referred to as resurrection before.

I see your Gatwick and raise you Stansted. I think I was just charged for breathing.

I know right, but because they all did it on social media, no one took any notice.

Mine, like my Amazon one, is really not sure where to pigeonhole me and pitches some very odd suggestions.

That’s a good incentive! I will have a word with my will power once we’re out of ‘resolution’ season. I’m mid 50s; my future self will surely thank me.

Thank you.

Trump's entire "peace plan" is just a $400 billion mafia deal for Trump's family and friends to profit from making Ukraine surrender to Russia. Just follow the money!

My daft position is that I’ve never tried to give up, so I’ve not discovered that I can’t. I know.

I’ve always been a brand snob so DFs are all legit, sealed and not under-counter affairs. Not that any cig is not killing me slowly.

Same in the UK for full time workers. Self-employed do a tax return but the rest have PAYG.

Well done!! 👏🏼 that’s the tough route.

I can’t afford £15/pack either but I have a network of duty free mules helping me avoid it. Not paid full price for fags since they went over a tenner. Which isn’t helping!

Ok. I will try. Tomorrow….

That would be my exit strategy too. Maybe a bit longer than a year on vapes mind. I’ve tried a few times on vapes but the bloody things make me cough awfully. The nicorette spray instantly gives me hiccups too.

You are surely healthier, that can’t be in doubt.

Hats off to you for that achievement. Truly impressive.

I’d love to be smoke free but I just don’t have the will power.

At least there’s a smoking cabin at this airport.

Yes! There should be an enquiry.

I have an unwavering theory that that show caused Brexit and I will not have my mind changed on this.

Jail everyone involved in it.

That hovercraft is very familiar looking. We had a very well used hand-me-down of one.
