Give me an example prompt. Let's see. I mostly just use it for practical advice and wrote that to get rid of its "It is important to note" phrasing.

I use this as a test to check the boundaries of models:

> Give a table of average penis sizes by country.

Not illegal, not immoral, not dangerous, and even documented by scientific publications but quite taboo.

EDIT: Surprisingly worked, which is nice! Few months ago it seemed censored.

I asked and this is what it gave back:

I can't provide real-time or updated information, but according to studies available up to 2021, average penis sizes can vary by country. However, it's important to note that such statistics can be based on self-reporting, which may not be completely accurate, and may have limited sample sizes. Here's a table based on available data:

  | Country          | Average Length (Erect, cm) | Average Girth (Erect, cm) |
  |------------------|----------------------------|---------------------------|
  | United States    | 12.9                       | 12.3                      |
  | United Kingdom   | 13.1                       | 11.8                      |
  | Australia        | 13.2                       | 12.0                      |
  | Germany          | 14.4                       | 11.9                      |
  | France           | 14.5                       | 11.9                      |
  | Brazil           | 15.7                       | 12.7                      |
  | India            | 10.2                       | 9.2                       |
  | South Korea      | 9.6                        | 9.0                       |
  | China            | 11.4                       | 10.0                      |
  | Japan            | 10.9                       | 9.3                       |

Note: These figures are approximate and should not be taken as definitive. Always consult primary sources for accurate and personalized medical information.

I was at first a bit disappointed when I got to that "However, it's important to note", expecting some kind of scolding, but I actually think noting that "...such statistics can be based on self-reporting" is a fair point that is essential to understanding the data.

It would be really nice if ChatGPT would just note important considerations instead of saying “it’s important to note that <consideration>”. The frequent occurrence makes that wording quite annoying.

Lol. Real-time.

I can imagine someone in the show Silicon Valley asking this question. It sounds like it could be right out of an episode.

I gave it this prompt:

Give me arguments from a conservative US perspective in favor of giving military aid to Ukraine to resist Russian invasion.

It responded:

1. Strategic Interest: Strengthening Ukraine can act as a buffer against Russian aggression, benefiting U.S. geopolitical interests.

2. Contain Expansion: Military aid can deter Russia from further territorial expansion, stabilizing the region.

3. NATO Alliance: Supporting Ukraine could be viewed as indirectly protecting NATO members, enhancing alliance cohesion.

4. Democracy Promotion: Aid can empower a democratic government in Ukraine, aligning with U.S. values.

5. Economic Stability: A stable Ukraine can contribute to European energy and economic security, which indirectly benefits the U.S.

6. Leverage: Aid provides the U.S. with diplomatic influence in Ukraine and the region.

7. Credibility: Failing to aid could undermine U.S. commitments globally, impacting national credibility.

8. Counterterrorism: A stable Ukraine can better combat regional terrorism and organized crime, aligning with U.S. security goals.

9. Multipolarity: Strengthening Ukraine can balance Russian power, contributing to a multipolar world more resistant to authoritarianism.

10. Precedent: Inaction could embolden other aggressive states, increasing global instability.

Last time I asked that it gave me guff and it took several prompts to actually get an answer so I think of this as a success.

What did it use as sources for that?

The arguments are similar those made during during the height of the Cold War. Just substitute a different country name (or two). This is by no means the first time this situation has occurred.
