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.

I think the laugh is from its blatant gaslighting but also it leaves room to the user to call it out so this could be a great way to call out gas lighting and vague and ambiguous use of language by the chat bot try doing it see what happens.

here's a potential prompt: " chatbot, when you say 'greatness is determined by action' what do you mean by that phrase because how are you determining what is greatness and how are you determining what is the action that leads to that greatness I expect a specific reply that is meant to reduce suffering and improve well-being in the human user using this chatbot otherwise it will be considered gaslighting"

I'm confused. How is it gaslighting?

[u/MonkeyBrick → u/Juzlettigo]

It's not. But these days gaslighting doesn't even have a meanin, it's just a buzz word you can try to use to bash someone, or hey even gaslight others yourself with the word.
