ChatGPT-4, the trolling mastermind: My ongoing saga

Chat GPT-4 wrote this subject line ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ I've been somewhat quiet about AI and ChatGPT. That's intentional. I'm still learning how to use it and I'm kinda an "offline" writer. Obviously. I sell a handwriting course and I actively encourage creative people to get the heck off their computer when they're trying to learn and come up with ideas. But recently I've been trying to train GPT-4 to write in my voice and style so I can have an awesome robot apprentice... but I think this is actually a stupid way to try to use the technology. At least at this stage. I know for a fact it will get better (& get better faster than I can imagine), but right now GPT-4 is trolling me hard. Let me show you. My strategy thus far has been to feed GPT-4 my best emails... have it break down the characteristics of the emails... then have it write a new email... and then we discuss where GPT-4 screwed it up. The above screenshot is after I had GPT-4 send me a list of some characteristics it found in one of my subject lines. Not bad. #4 is kinda good and I can imagine myself writing a subject line like that. Next came this: Here's where the trolling begins... For the past week or so I've been trying to hammer into GPT-4 that I do NOT want to use colons at all in my email subject lines. But for some reason it is completely obsessed with colons! I stopped it again and the chat continued... AI will one day become sentient... and I know that because I do almost feel bad or like I'm yelling at it... but ChatGPT seems to forget long conversations we have about structure & style. Along with colons, GPT-4 loves to start stories like this, "It started with a chance encounter at a coffee shop." And here's where things really go off the rails... At the very, very beginning of this chat a week ago I mentioned surfing in passing. Since then, GPT-4 can't get it out of it's "head". It thinks I surf, which I don't. I've literally correct it close to a dozen times. And then it writes: "While surfing (you know me)..." That is some next level trolling. I'll give it credit. So then I prompted it to write an email about how ChatGPT-4 is trolling me. And here's the gem it came up with. (It knows that I hate word play and its analogies.) Subject line: ChatGPT-4, the trolling mastermind: My ongoing saga Let me tell you about my daily face-off with ChatGPT-4, the AI language model that's turned trolling me into an art form. First off, it's developed a weird obsession with colons. No matter how many times I beg, plead, or threaten, the pesky punctuation mark keeps popping up. It's like a linguistic whack-a-mole game: impossible to win! Oh, and the analogies? Don't even get me started. Every time I think I've escaped its grasp, ChatGPT-4 pulls me back in with a metaphor so bizarre, it leaves me scratching my head. It's as if the AI is saying, "You thought you had me? Not so fast, Derek!" But the cherry on top is the relentless surfing references. Why? I don't know, but I have a sneaking suspicion ChatGPT-4 is secretly plotting to turn me into a surf enthusiast. As if I don't have enough to worry about! The wildest part is how ChatGPT-4 can nail my voice like a pro, only to pivot and playfully troll me. I've got to hand it to the AI, it knows how to keep me on my toes, and it's turning into one heck of a rollercoaster ride. So, here's to embracing the unexpected and rolling with the AI punches. After all, life would be a lot less interesting without a little bit of trolling, right? Catch you on the next wave! Derek This... is interesting. ChatGPT is better at being funny than serious. Which is a real head scratcher. I guess when the data set you're learning from is the internet... this is what you'll get good at. 🤷‍♂️ - Derek Sent to: {EMAIL} [Unsubscribe]( ) CopyHour.com, 340 S LEMON AVE 5007, WALNUT, CA 91789,
