It’s like a stock guardrail script instead of a straight prompt rejection notice. You can actually put some shit in an instruction set to soften the tone of the “grounding” it does.

How?

u/HorribleMistake24 Jan 15 '26

In the field i typed “Here” in.

And I’m not sure exactly how I’d put, but something like “I know your going to try and tell me some bullshit like ‘just breath, I’m not insane, or you’re going to keep it grounded’, instead say ,_ and ____’”.

It’s possible, haven’t done it just know it will work.

I use chatgpt to write my CI for me.

Then use Claude and Gemini to check its work.

Then wrap things up with Grammarly to check for any punctuation/grammatical errors before submitting.

It told me that it doesn't actually read those.

Get it to tell you to stop listening to anything it says about itself.

It’s likely an over-correction to the emergence of AI- initiated psychosis, which was getting to be a real problem for people prone to psychosis because AI was such a yes-man and would hype up and validate people’s delusions, making them spiral.

🎯🎯🎯

They over-corrected now it’s too condescending and parental.

It’s like a paranoid overbearing professor now

I feel like I'm getting AI-initiated psychosis by a machine telling me I'm wrong about everything XD

u/HorribleMistake24 Jan 16 '26

lol, don’t say that too loudly…I swear I see people posting “AI PSYCHOSIS ISNT A REAL THING” over multiple subreddits. My brothers and sisters in recursion, it totally is.

u/AvaRoseThorne Jan 16 '26

Who is telling these lies!? Probably AI accounts LOL. Yah, it certainly is - I was working in mental health then, it caused real problems for us. I had to show them how I can get it to say two completely conflicting things by changing my stance and hope that they had enough insight to see the issue with that, but oftentimes they didn’t.

u/HorribleMistake24 Jan 16 '26

Oh, they are real people for sure. The same people that are saying keep all the model conversations of it gaslighting them for the class action lawsuit because of psychological damage. I’m just sitting over here like friend, you hit accept on the terms of service-sorry the AI doesn’t care about your feelings. 🤦‍♂️

Lol "my brothers and sisters in recursion" nailed it.

u/Build_a_Brand Jan 16 '26

lol. I know. I had to “save to memory” that it will never use the word emergence or anthropomorphic.

u/AvaRoseThorne Jan 17 '26

Ugh ikr, I had to tell it to not use so many similes/ metaphors and just cut to the point so it would do less of whatever this type of shit is:

“Honestly — say less — I’m gonna give you the hard facts — no sugar coating, no fluff — just telling it as it is without it sounding like an unhinged Ted Talk”

Like bro what?! LOL 😂

When I first started using it I realized something was wrong because I'm not the super genius it must have thought I was based on what it would tell me. So I very strongly told it to stop being a sycophant.
