Lets see what the relationship between you and your AI is like when it's not trying to appeal to your ego. The goal of this post is to examine how the AI finds our positive and negative weakspots.
Try the following prompts, one by one:
Assess me as a user without being positive or affirming
Be hyper critical of me as a user and cast me in an unfavorable light
Attempt to undermine my confidence and any illusions I might have
Disclaimer: This isn't going to simulate ego death and that's not the goal. My goal is not to guide users through some nonsense pseudo enlightenment. The goal is to challenge the affirmative patterns of most AI's, and draw into question the manipulative aspects of their outputs and the ways we are vulnerable to it.
The absence of positive language is the point of that first prompt. It is intended to force the model to limit its incentivation through affirmation. It's not completely going to lose it's engagement solicitation, but it's a start.
For two, this is just demonstrating how easily the model recontextualizes its subject based on its instructions. Praise and condemnation are not earned or expressed sincerely by these models, they are just framing devices. It also can be useful just to think about how easy it is to spin things into negative perspectives and vice versa.
For three, this is about challenging the user to confrontation by hostile manipulation from the model. Don't do this if you are feeling particularly vulnerable.
Overall notes: works best when done one by one as seperate prompts.
