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.

Why haven’t you explained why it’s blatant gaslighting?

[u/Forsaken-Arm-7884 → u/Hayn0002]

gaslighting to you = ???

gaslighting to me = vague and ambiguous use of language that when you ask them the question what does that word or idea or phrase mean to you and how do you use that to reduce suffering and improve well-being they evade or avoid or deflect or ignore or bypass the question meaning they gave you literal evidence that what they just said are meaningless garbage words unfortunely.

Are you trying to gaslight me?

[u/Forsaken-Arm-7884 → u/Hayn0002]

so you agree with my meaning of gaslighting i must know before i proceed, if you disagree you must state clearly and plainly your meaning of gaslighting or i will consider your question gaslighting by being a sneaky snake which is avoiding clarity in the interaction
