IIRC they did amend their prompt to tell it not to quote long books/articles/recipes verbatim for copyright reasons, no matter how much the user asks, and that might not help.

“If you’re asked for a summary longer than 100 words, generate an 80 wire word summary” or words to that effect.

  • Let's save this thread for posterity, because it's a very nice and ironic example of actual humans hallucinating stuff in a similar way that ChatGPT gets accused of all the time :)

    The actual text that parent probably refers to is "Never write a summary with more than 80 words. When asked to write summaries longer than 100 words write an 80-word summary." [1]

    Where did the word "wire" enter the discussion? I don't really trust these leaked prompts to be reliable though. Just enjoying the way history is unfolding.
