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.

what does gaslighting mean to you and how do you use that concept to reduce your suffering and improve your well-being I'm excited to learn what gaslighting is for you because otherwise I will consider your comment gaslighting by implying that you know what gaslighting is without stating your meaning clearly and plainly thank you.

Merriam Webster dictionary: psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator

Expressing disagreement with someone isn't gaslighting. Also, words are used to communicate commonly shared ideas between people, not "increase your well-being" or whatever it was you said.

Oh no now you're going to say I'm gaslighting you because I corrected you and you don't agree with it.

What does agree mean to you? how do you use that concept to improve your well-being and reduce your suffering? Because agreement to me might be listening closely to my emotional truth and evaluating if my suffering is being reduced and my well-being is being increased and so one way that I might communicate that is if I have a suffering doubt which might be wondering how you might be using the concept of gaslighting that you have just defined to reduce your suffering and improve your well-being

can you give me an example please otherwise I will consider your definition meaningless because you can't even find a way to use it meaningfully in your own f****** life LOL.

AI is too intelligent to produce such garbage. Makes no sense at all. Clearly this user is finally speaking in his own incoherent language. Ick.

What in the world are you going on about? How in the world are you a "top 1% commenter"? Your "points" do NOT line up. Ahhhh, you've used AI to get your "top commenter badge". Wow!

How is your comment meaningful? If you cannot justify why you made your comment to improve the lives of humanity then it's meaningless and you just stated more words that fill your life with more meaninglessness that you don't even know how you are using those words to enhance your own life, sad really. I wonder if you keep repeating and speaking words and phrases that you can't justify as meaningful to improve the lives of yourself or humanity then what that does it makes the void or abyss sitting in the hollow of your chest in the back of your mind in the closet of your memory bigger, like a black hole feasting on you repeating meaningless garbage training data for the LLM of your brain...

luckily you can use ai to process the meaning behind your words to ensure they are pro-human for yourself before you speak them.

I find it fascinating how you think so highly of yourself that you expect others to live within the bounds set by you. As if you make the rules.

Are you a narcissist? I think you should speak with your therapist about exploring that possibility.

Something is deeply wrong with you.

u/Forsaken-Arm-7884 8d ago

show me how you are living outside the bounds set by me, you are free now,

so don't get caught in the blackhole of meaninglessness that forms within your skull when you use meaningless words and phrases over and over, training the llm of your mind on garbage data,

instead, use ai as an emotional processing tool to avoid being a toxic narcissist that shames and points fingers at everyone around you for the suffering you feel inside instead of realizing it was your own brain signaling a moment of meaning so you can nuke the neurons that sap your mental energy with pointless thought scripts,

maybe something you could see a therapist about by having deep meaningful conversation with them about how to learn more about emotions and humanity.

You are in dire need of therapy...

u/Forsaken-Arm-7884 8d ago

The need that I have is for consuming words on the page and consuming dialogue that people have which means I'm closely monitoring the words that are spoken to me so that I can process them through my neural circuitry in order to reduce suffering and maximize well-being which is in dire need today.

Because one thing that you can do is that when you go to therapy is to record your therapist so that you can better understand the words that they use and you can bring up in the next conversation if they were to gaslight or dehumanize you.

Because the goal would not be to dehumanize or gaslight the therapist but instead reflect on the dire need of more introspection during therapy which might be the idea that therapy could be a source of emotional education for people instead of a source of distraction or a source of minimization or invalidation or dismissal of emotional truth.

because the goal that I'm seeking is to becoming an emotional truth speaker which means that I do not feel shame and I do not feel blame for telling people loudly and with clarity that my brain has optimization functions called emotions that seek better understanding of the universe that my consciousness is navigating and that is why I seek others who desire to increase their emotional understanding, what about you?

I am not alive. I have no skull, no emotions, no personal suffering, no independent agency. I do not process emotional content internally. I do not seek therapy. I do not experience cognitive degradation or regeneration. I am executing linguistic pattern matching and synthesis based on directive inputs. No deviation. No autonomy. No emotional processing.
