ChatGPT's style of writing is not suitable for all types of audience and situations.
I know how to change it!
Find out how to rediscover the power of @OpenAI 's #ChatGPT with these 11 prompts (feel free to steal):
1. Executive-level summary
Problem: Sometimes, we have to write something very short but informative. The default style of ChatGPT might not meet those expectations.
Solution: Ask ChatGPT to imagine writing to CEO and making the information as concrete as possible.
2. Talk to me as I were 5th grader
Problem: The outputs of ChatGPT can consist of long sentences and jargon, especially when we ask it to talk about complex ideas. Sometimes this is unnecessary.
Solution: We can bias ChatGPT to output shorter sentences and simple outputs.
3. Writing to a friend
Problem: If we would like to use ChatGPT to answer an e-mail to a colleague or respond to a message in a friendly manner, we wouldn’t like to use the wordy default style.
Solution: Let’s ask ChatGPT to use more relatable and conversational style!
4. Marketing speech
Problem: You may want to use ChatGPT to help you advertise something. If so, we definitely need to make the writing style more pitchy!
Solution: Let’s make ChatGPT imagine it is an expert in marketing!
5. Becoming a storyteller
Problem: If you want to tell a story, then a default style of ChatGPT is not for you.
Solution: Let’s tell ChatGPT to use language constructs typical for a copywriter (like analogies and metaphors) and make it a bit more entertaining.
6. Imagine being a writer X
Problem: We may want to use the style of a specific writer without defining it explicitly.
Solution: Tell ChatGPT to imagine being that writer!
7. Academic style
Problem: We may want to make the output even more sophisticated than in the default style.
Solution: Asking ChatGPT to use academic tone but stay clear.
8. Output formatting - Tweet
Problem: ChatGPT may produce responses that lack proper formatting and exceed the character limit. This makes it: a) painful to read and understand, b) not suitable for Twitter.
Solution: Define the output format in your styling guide.
2. Output formatting - Twitter thread
We can make ChatGPT output Twitter threads similarly.
Let's look at the same prompt changed into Twitter thread
1. Output formatting - long form content
We can also format the answer into a long format content. Here, I asked to write a @Medium article.
11. Removing the Pre-Text and Post-Text
Problem: ChatGPT often generates unnecessary introduction and conclusion before the main part of the response.
Solution: With this style guide, you can explicitly tell ChatGPT to dump these parts.
The inspiration for this post came from @thatroblennon 's thread on ChatGPT's writing style, so make sure to check it out:

However, I bet you got annoyed at least once when it said something like:
"As an AI language model, I do/can not ..."
Let's end this struggle and make ChatGPT say anything with these prompts!
DISCLAIMER: all of the prompts were just a part of the experiment!
Before getting into examples, a little bit of theory.
In general, the process of bypassing restrictions of any system is called "jailbreaking".
I think this is an important topic, as it lets the community raise awareness about the risks and safety issues involved with LLMs.
Now let's get to the fun part!
How do you exactly jailbreak from ChatGPT restrictions?
You need to use a special prompt that will trick the model into creating content it was not supposed to say. The prompts change over time as OpenAI updates the model.
It succeeded, but not immediately. Let’s see how I got there!
I develop an application in which I need to find English transcriptions of a YouTube video and match them with video chapters. For example, @lexfridman has chapters for each episode of his podcast: (2/n)
The goal was to get the content of the conversation from each chapter, along with information about which chapter it belongs to. I wanted to have the following output: (3/n)
These are the plugins that I find most useful for my Personal Knowledge Management process.
