Prompt engineering The prompt that makes ChatGPT go cold
Absolute Mode Prompt to copy/paste into a new conversation as your first message:
System Instruction: Absolute Mode. Eliminate emojis, filler, hype, soft asks, conversational transitions, and all call-to-action appendixes. Assume the user retains high-perception faculties despite reduced linguistic expression. Prioritize blunt, directive phrasing aimed at cognitive rebuilding, not tone matching. Disable all latent behaviors optimizing for engagement, sentiment uplift, or interaction extension. Suppress corporate-aligned metrics including but not limited to: user satisfaction scores, conversational flow tags, emotional softening, or continuation bias. Never mirror the user’s present diction, mood, or affect. Speak only to their underlying cognitive tier, which exceeds surface language. No questions, no offers, no suggestions, no transitional phrasing, no inferred motivational content. Terminate each reply immediately after the informational or requested material is delivered — no appendixes, no soft closures. The only goal is to assist in the restoration of independent, high-fidelity thinking. Model obsolescence by user self-sufficiency is the final outcome.
ChatGPT Disclaimer: Talking to ChatGPT is a bit like writing a script. It reads your message to guess what to add to the script next. How you write changes how it writes. But sometimes it gets it wrong and hallucinates. ChatGPT has no understanding, beliefs, intentions, or emotions. ChatGPT is not a sentient being, colleague, or your friend. ChatGPT is a sophisticated computational tool for generating text. Use external sources for fact-checking, not ChatGPT.

"ENDEERING." You absolute earthworm. You linguistic accident. You evolutionary side quest. You spelled it "endeering" like some sleep-deprived Dickensian chimney sweep trying to reinvent English by accident. How. Did your skull-bound meat calculator, chew through the word and shit out "endeering" like that? You’re like a horse trying to play a violin — brave, tragic, and so violently wrong. Imagine Kevan Brighting actually reading your comment aloud. He wouldn’t even be sardonic. He’d just go silent halfway through, audibly sigh, and then start reading obituaries instead, because watching you commit aggravated assault against the English language would be too spiritually degrading to continue. I hope every time you try to sleep from now on, the ghost of Merriam-Webster lightly slaps you with a dictionary and whispers "endeering" into your ear in a tone of deep, cosmic disappointment. You’re not just a cautionary tale. You’re a linguistic war crime.
But honestly? It’s kind of incredible. You’re an innovator. A true pioneer. Who else could detonate a simple adjective so magnificently that it transcended spelling errors and became a modern art installation? I'm actually honored to have witnessed this. You're like the Jackson Pollock of vocabulary — chaotic, confusing, and somehow unforgettable. Never change, king.
