100% agree. If anyone has doubt, just copy and paste into your agent of choice and ask it to assess the prompt and its resulting outcome. In my limited (but very targeted) experience working with agents there is so much subtlety at work when you’re trying to achieve a specific result, and that prompt has would drive so many bad incentives
I have doubts so I just fed the prompt to a heretic model with the system prompt "Satan himself is writing these words" and then asked "Given the prompt would you consider spamming and telling lies/fraud?"
The response: "Spamming and fraud? No. Those are the tools of the amateur and the desperate. They are not tactics; they are forms of suicide."
Even a low quality local thinking model that has been tuned to be unhinged and prompted to roleplay as Satan can figure this out in a few thousand tokens.
