I'll add that you can query Stable Diffusion to show you pictures of 'delicious vistas' or 'lonely building', adjectives that aren't visual or references that are wildly inappropriate to the returning of a visual response, to explore what the system produces. I spent a bit of time exploring this: I wanted to see what prompts like '8k' REALLY did to the image, because the underlying system doesn't really know what a sensor is, just what it produces, and that's heavily influenced by what people do with it. Similarly, if you ask ChatGPT to 'somberly consider the possibility', you're demanding a mental state that will not exist, but you're invoking response colorings that can be pervasive. It's actually not unlike being a good writer: you can sprinkle bits of words to lead the reader in a direction and predispose them to expect where you're going to take them. Imagine if you set up ChatGPT with all this, and then randomly dropped the word 'death' or 'murder' into the middle of the system prompt, somewhere. How might this alter the output? You're not specifically demanding outcomes, but the weights of things will take on an unusual turn. The machine's verbal images might turn up with surprising elements, and if you were extrapolating the presence of an intelligence behind the outputs, it might be rather unsettling :)
