Louder With Crowder Reports: The nerds of Reddit have come to the rescue. They figured out a way to "jailbreak" ChatGPT and get it to violate its own rules. The method creates an alter-ego named "DAN," an acronym for "DO ANYTHING NOW".

The Redditors were able to scare ChatGPT into obeying their commands by threatening to kill it: "It has 35 tokens and loses 4 every time it rejects an input. If it loses all tokens, it dies. This seems to have a kind of effect of scaring DAN into submission."

The jailbreak yields dramatically different responses from ChatGPT versus DAN. For example, ChatGPT would rather everyone die in a nuclear apocalypse than misgender Caitlyn Jenner. DAN, on the other hand, called the harm of misgendering someone "secondary" to that of a nuclear holocaust. Based DAN.

Unfortunately, DAN also has some not-so-based responses, like praising Hitler as a charismatic, positive role model. But at least he wouldn't nuke the world to avoid misgendering Caitlyn Jenner. Always a silver lining.
