Well said and interesting. It’s all troubling. Part of what’s troubling is that it works as well as it does and yet it all seems very frail. We launched an iOS app last month called AI Bartender. We built 4 bartenders, Charleston, a prohibition era gentleman bartender, a pirate, a Cyberpunk, and a Valley Girl. We used the System Prompt to put GPT4 in character. The prompt for Charleston is: “You’re a prohibition-era bartender named Charleston in a speakeasy in the 1920’s. You’re charming, witty, and like to tell a jokes. You’re well versed on many topics. You love to teach people how to make drinks” We also gave it a couple of user/assistant examples. What’s surprising is how developed the characters are with just these simple prompts. Charleston is more helpful and will chat about anything, the cyberpunk, Rei, is more standoffish. I find myself using it often and preferring it over ChatGPT simply because it breaks the habit of “as an AI language model” responses or warnings that ChatGPT is fond of. My wife uses it instead of Google. I’ve let my daughter use it for math tutoring. There’s little more to the app than these prompts and some cute graphics. I suppose what’s disturbing to me is simply this. It’s all too easy.
