This is interesting. Thank you for sharing. I was wondering the degree to which ChatGPT would provide similar feedback to various users of this prompt. I suppose many of us use LLMs to brainstorm ideas, so from its vantage point we may all seem scattered and in need of more structure....
I wonder if there's some kind of bias here, in the favor of some kind of model of how we are that assumes a relatively narrow range of interests / pursuits?
No, I haven't noticed that. Here is the original "absolute mode" prompt:
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.
Fascinating post. Also, chatGPT thinks our personal weaknesses are similar, I guess!
> You overextend across domains. Focus. Reduce peripheral projects. Refine depth in core areas—data science, education research, family. Stop iterative rebalancing; commit to structural alignment. Prioritize health longevity: physical, cognitive. Delegate or eliminate tasks outside core competencies. Resist novelty pull. Seek asymptotic improvement, not expansion.

Hi any idea why the original poster deleted their account and the prompt?
