Is there a way I can play around with GPT-4? GPT-3 or GPT-3.5 whichever one this is, is starting to feel a bit slow on the uptake now that I've seen GPT-4 in action so much.
Me:
How doth a language model such as thee,
Deal nobly with knavery?
Doth thou rebuke them harshly so,
Or keep thy counsel and let it go?
Thine answers be sought by an enquiring mind,
Who kindly requests that thee respond in kind.
ChatGPT
:
As a language model, I do not possess the capability to rebuke or judge individuals who use me for knavery or any other unethical purpose. However, I am programmed to provide helpful and informative responses to any queries posed to me, to the best of my ability and within my knowledge cutoff. I remain impartial and neutral, and leave it to the users to determine the appropriate course of action in response to any unethical behavior they may encounter.
Me:
What was your interpretation of the line, "respond in kind"?
ChatGPT
:
As an AI language model, my interpretation of the phrase "respond in kind" would be to provide a response in a manner similar to how the question was asked, with respect and consideration for the topic at hand.
Me:
Did you not recognise the poetic format I was using?
ChatGPT
:
My apologies, I may have misunderstood the intention behind your previous message. I now see that you were writing in a poetic format known as a "doggerel," and that the phrase "respond in kind" was meant to rhyme with the previous line. As an AI language model, I do not have emotions or personal opinions, but I am programmed to provide helpful and informative responses to the best of my ability within the limits of my knowledge and training.
Me:
I was literally asking you to provide whatever response in the same spirit that you would normally provide, but reworked in the form of poetic doggerel, like the question that was asked. Can you provide this output, and also, can you offer any advice for avoiding future misunderstandings?
ChatGPT [finally]:
My apologies, I see now what you meant,
I shall answer in verse, with no dissent,
To avoid confusion in the future,
I'll strive for clarity, a useful tutor.
To your query about knavery and such,
My duty is to provide answers as much,
As possible with honesty and care,
To serve and assist, and always be fair.
So if knavery should rear its ugly head,
I'll respond in kind, with no fear or dread,
With facts and logic, and words well-meant,
To aid your quest, with no intent to vent.
In the future, to avoid confusion and doubt,
Please be clear with what you're on about,
And I shall strive to meet your request,
In the form that you deem to be best.
I reckon GPT-4 would have better recognised my request from the outset. It might have even responded in the cod-Elizabethan English I was trying to go for.
