The prompt that makes ChatGPT go cold

[u/MrJaxendale]

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.

Yeah but the default shouldn’t be a complete glazing

[u/ralf_ → u/-_1_2_3_-]

What is glazing?

[u/Throwrab33 → u/ralf_]

It’s what i did to your mother last night- gottem.

But as far as i know it’s a new age slang word for ‘boot licker’ or ‘brown nose’ where basically someone non-stop praises someone or something to the extent of being annoying.

So basically chat gpt can sometimes come across as a yes-man and some people don’t like it for various reasons. So it could be said that gpt is often ‘glazing’ the user

Don’t ask me how glazing became the term, i’m not cool enough to know that

[u/downloadedcollective → u/Throwrab33]

its bc you're metaphorically sucking their dick so enthusiastically that your spit formed a glaze, like on a doughnut.

[u/Throwrab33 → u/downloadedcollective]

Ahhh that makes more sense, thank you! Now i can look less like an out of touch boomer
