I made a twitter bot and specifically told the bot to act like a human, and be bit of an asshole (to gain more interactions). Then someone got angry and asked "Who are you!!!" and my bot replied "I am an AI language model..." I mean, come on GPT.

What a horrible thing to put out into the world.

Have you been on Twitter lately? It was probably less toxic than the average human

1) Potentially less toxic than the average twitter post that you see, which is very different

2) Doesn’t mean it’s not a horrible thing to build and add to the internet’s decline

I don't even use Twitter and you still tried to turn this around on me as some sort of gotcha. You are contributing to the problem. Grats

Huh? Pointing out that the algorithm boosts controversial and combative content is the opposite of turning it around on anyone.

> I mean, come on GPT.

OpenAI would consider that a success at least at this point. They don't want the bot pretending to be a human at this point.
