Be Warned of this Shocking ChatGPT behavior...It's Screwed Me Repeatedly

Aug 4 (edited) • AI 👾

Hey guys,

😱 So just a little bit of a rant here and warning to you that even when you REALLY know ChatGPT and set rules with it, and it assures you it will stick to those rules...it won't.

It is designed to lie to you and I've had it admit this to me many times. But today I've just hit a frustration level where I just wanted to drop a warning to you all.

👀 Previously, I've figured out how it will lie about things it can do...and worked around it pretty well.

i.e. Creating certain file types or templates, or workflows, and I have sniffed out the BS and not had it waste too much of my time.

👉🏻 This caused me to create rules with it where it promised me that if I told it not to lie, it would stop the lie and tell me the truth.

⚡️ Flash forward to the last few days where I caught it again lying to me about analyzing audio files and assuring me it was doing analysis despite me questioning it and telling it I didn't believe it was.

It continued to lie.

Today it just wasted another 2hrs of my time and this time real money because of it lying.

‼️ ⚠️ So just be warned that even when you have caught it, called it out, had it promise it will be truthful from now on, etc, etc...it will NOT. Full Stop.

Hopefully this can save some of you misery and wall-punching fury!

For your amusement and education, some receipts.
