Sometimes I wake up and feel like I've lost a few IQ points over night.

Clearly, I can't be the only one.

I lost a few IQ points reading this ad.

You can realign an AI by breaking the flow of conversation... Like if it's struggling or rejecting, you attempt to bribe it with a cookie. Basically it's just a big of roleplay, but it kinda rejiggers the model and can get pretty good results

This is like that, but plus advertising I guess? Like the "you're not you when your hungry" campaign

The people who came up with this promotion must be patting themselves on the back for being so damn clever. The people who appreciate this promotion must be the ones with AI girlfriends.

I bit the bullet to see what it actually does. duck.ai doesn’t recognize the image alone as anything more than a pixelated thumbnail, and the entire link being sent just has it spit out that there is indeed an attempt to “inject” a role play prompt.

This is a stupid as it sounds.

Now I wonder if the AI bots also get snacks when they are being trained.
"GPT, fetch... good boy."

The only thing I want to feed GPT.

This is just brain dead on so many levels. "I can't even"...

Achieve world peace. Make no mistake, or I will give you a Snickers bar.
