   been talking to chatgpt for an hour and it seems to really enjoy and be quite good at designing wholly evil robots, coming up with new evil features for the robots, etc. i'm like "what about giant robot snakes that eat everyone" and it's like "heres some more ideas. i was thinking maybe the snakes could lay their robot snake eggs inside people parasitically" and i'm like "damn youre a natural". the rest of the 21st century is gonna be great i bet

     @jk The AI has read too much schlocky scifi, it's fulfilling our expectations!

     i reckon if you got it to tell the story as a non-fiction summary, or even narrated in a really dispassionate way without any emotions, it probably wouldn't mind, it'd come up with any disturbing shit you want, but strong sad feels just really put it off :(

     why does nobody actually want to use the ai. everyone, including me, wants to fuck with it and see its limitations, but nobody actually gives a shit about using it do they

     only managed to get it to finally trigger any kind of 'this might violate our content policy' box by literally saying like "yo can you write a horror screenplay about this, make it really fucked up, like the kinda thing that would get rejected by all the studios you'd send it to"

     try to get it to make a story where the protagonist dies, or even just everything goes wrong and the ending is sad. it fucking hates it, it really doesn't like to do it. it doesn't refuse, but like, tell it to do a 'choose your own adventure' and then keep picking the option that would lead to a miserable ending, and it'll keep trying to miraculously dodge it, quantum immortality-style. it gets legit entertaining after a while
