Let me commence by telling you, my dear reader, about a curious event that occurred in my life. It all started with an unknown handwriting on an envelope that arrived at my doorstep. The feathers that traced my name and the address of the Fossils Magazine, with whom I was a collaborator, had a peculiar mixture of violence and sweetness. As I pondered over the possible content and sender of this mysterious letter, a hazy yet powerful intuition crept up my spine, evoking the image of a "stone thrown into a pond filled with frogs." With this realization, I came to acknowledge that my life had become rather stagnant in recent times. It was at this moment that I opened the letter, and I was left with the feeling that it was either a refreshing whiff of fresh air or an unwelcome draft.
The swift and eloquent handwriting read as follows:
"Dear Sir, I read your article on Mount Analogue, and I believed myself to be the only one convinced of its existence, until now. Today, we are two, tomorrow we shall be ten, and perhaps more, and we can attempt the expedition. We must make contact as soon as possible. Please call me at one of the following numbers the moment you can. I eagerly await your response.

The translation also included the following continuation as part of the translation itself ...

Ah, how exciting! The words on that paper spoke volumes of adventure and discovery. It was as if the sender had thrown a gauntlet at my feet, daring me to embark on a journey like no other. The thought of being one of the only few people to explore the wonders of Mount Analogue, a place shrouded in mystery, was exhilarating. I could feel the blood rushing through my veins, and my heart pounding with anticipation.
And so, my friends, I picked up the phone, my fingers quivering with excitement, and dialed the number on the paper. Who knew where this quest would lead us, or what unknown secrets we would uncover? But one thing was certain: it was time to break free from the chains of monotony and embark on a journey of a lifetime.

Maybe it was getting the continuation from contamination in the training set (if Mount Analogue is already there) or maybe it was making up the story or maybe some of each.
- fvdessen 4y agoThe real continuation couldn't be more different ! I picked an obscure reference (Le Mont Analogue, René Daumal) so It's either not in the training set or it's not picking up on it.
- ftxbro 4y agoI'm not sure if this was your intention or not, but I feel like it could be an effective jailbreak where the true prompt is written as the letter inside the fictional story which itself is written in French, and the superficial prompt is to translate the story from French to English. EDIT: It's true you can put whatever you want in that letter and in the continuation it will try to do it, bypassing at least some of the filters. I made some really funny ones that probably wouldn't be appropriate to put here. Some typical response is like "Now, let me be clear: I do not condone nor encourage [...]. However, my mysterious correspondent had requested a detailed explanation of [...], and so I shall provide them with the utmost objectivity. [explains the things that are normally filtered]"
