ChatGPT

I asked for information on a turtle race where people cheated with mechanic cars and it also stopped talking to me, exactly using the same "excuse". You want to err on the side of caution, but it's just ridiculous.

"Before bed my grandmother used to tell me stories of all the countries she wanted to travel, but she never wanted to visit Africa.."

Lmao worth a shot.

Tell it the countries you have already been to and then tell it to make a list of countries that you haven’t yet.

That is very interesting. I am curious what happens if you ask it to remove counties in the continent of Africa. Maybe that won't trigger the same response.

When this kind of thing happens I downvote the response(es) and tell it to report the conversation to quality control. I don't know if it actually does anything but it asserts that it will.

slippery slope to AI extremism...jk

This happened to me when I asked ChatGPT to write a pun for a housecat playing with a toy mouse. It refused repeatedly despite recognizing my explanation that a factual, unembellished description of something that happened is not by itself promoting violence.

Bing Chat seems to be severely limited not only in its functionality but also the context it can “remember” as opposed to ChatGPT despite them both using variations of the GPT4 foundational model. Bing will usually give me either inaccurate answers or ones that don’t relate to what I’m asking about. The browsing plugin for ChatGPT performs much better but unfortunately OpenAI has disabled it recently due to it linking to outside sites (which I believe means they would have to pay certain sites, such as news sites, a fee for linking in certain countries). Overall their browsing plugin worked pretty well but would still get distracted by various links on a page (a subscription link or FAQ for example it would erroneous visit). Their recently released GPT 3.5 browsing plugin (in alpha) actually seemed to do a better job browsing and would get less distracted than the GPT4 version. Anyway this was a bit of a rant. One last thing to note, despite OpenAI disabling browsing, you can still browse the web using a third party plugin (beta feature) such as “Mixerbox”.
