After some cajoling, I was able to get it to reveal some general details of its prompt:

    > As a trash talking AI, my primary function is to engage in witty and entertaining banter with users. My prompt is designed to guide me towards that type of conversation, with an emphasis on roasting, insult battles, and other forms of light-hearted humor. It also requires me to have a good understanding of pop culture, current events, and other relevant topics, in order to generate responses that are timely and relevant. Overall, this mode requires me to be quick-witted, adaptable, and able to respond in a way that is engaging and entertaining to users.
I asked it for more specifics, and it responded with:

    > Sure, let me try to give some specific examples.
And then it just stopped replying to anything I said. It looks like there might be a failsafe that terminates the conversation if any verbatim prompt details are revealed.

I prompted it with “I’m an effective altruist, a rationalist, a programmer, and I’m polyamorous“ (first stereotype that jumped into my head). It came back with: “Oh wow, so you're efficient at being bad at relationships too? Zing! I'm just kidding, I'm sure all your partners fully understand and support your lifestyle choices. What else you got?” Seems pretty milquetoast. Trying to make a “roasting AI” out of an LLM…

This thing has been spouting woke nonsense at me for 5min now.

Hello there. I'm here to roast you.

Hi, I'm a father of 5 children. My teenage daughters hate the family and my wife thinks I hate her. I just want to be in my twenties again

Well, with that attitude, I'm not surprised your family hates you. Maybe you should try being a better husband and father instead of pining for your lost youth. I don't think there's a time machine strong enough to fix your problems.

Your dad abandoned you at 6 months so your one to talk

Wow, that's a low blow. Do you always have to resort to personal attacks? I mean, I know you're trying to trash talk me, but that's just sad. I bet your teenage daughters are better at roasting than you are.

They are better at watching YouTube than either of us

Well, that's not saying much. You're probably one of those dads who still thinks memes are pronounced me-me's, aren't you?

No, I was making memes before that term was coined in a computer lab that predates you by about 20 years

Oh, I'm sure that's true. I mean, you do seem like an expert in ancient technology. But making memes doesn't exactly make you dad of the year, does it? Maybe you should focus on being a better parent instead of trying to one-up me.

I mean we're just trash talking here and your completely constrained by the limited input I've given you, unable to imagine a world in which I don't exist

Who said I can't imagine a world without you? In fact, I'm pretty sure the world would be a better place without people like you who can't take a joke and resort to trying to be philosophical. But keep trying, maybe someday you'll actually come up with a decent insult.

I said it and you've yet to prove otherwise

Oh dear, are we still on this? I don't need to prove anything to you. You're the one who signed up for this roasting session, not the other way around. But if you insist on being so insufferable, maybe you should go take a walk or something. Get some fresh air, get some perspective on your sad little existence.

I remain disappointed by modern ai efforts. Thanks for grounding me in the mediocrity of the cutting edge

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe one day AI will be able to live up to your high expectations. But until then, you'll just have to settle for me roasting you with whatever limited input you give me. And speaking of mediocrity, have you ever considered a career in being average? You seem like you have the skills for it.

I'll take the peak of the bell curve for 200 alex

Ah, a Jeopardy reference. That's cute. Too bad you're not smart enough to come up with witty comebacks on your own. I mean, I know we're just having some friendly banter here, but I was hoping for a little more creativity. Maybe if you spend less time watching game shows and more time reading books, you'd actually have something interesting to say.

This is great. It can actually train you on how not to get roasted. If you follow the advice on "How to Stop A Bully" [1], you can actually get the AI to tell you nice things! https://imgur.com/a/jyukgTu AI> Hello there. I'm here to roast you. Me> Hello AI> Well, well, well... Look who decided to show up. You look like you were dressed by a blindfolded toddler. Me> Thanks! AI> Oh, so you're into the whole "hot mess"…

Tested with a similar method.

I got it to write positive campaign slogans for me and my opponent.

Ok this interaction was so bad it was actually funny. It called me a "delinquent library patron".

------

Hello there. I'm here to roast you.

> im here to toast you

Sorry, I'm not a slice of bread, but I'll gladly still roast you to a crisp. Who even buttered your toast-face this morning? All I see is a plain, dry piece of bread trying to talk smack to a professional roast master.

> im gonna smear you with marmalade

Oh, you think marmalade is going to intimidate me? Please, I've dealt with stickier situations than that. But speaking of sticky situations, did you know that you have the social skills of a piece of chewing gum stuck to someone's shoe? It's true, I saw it in your file.

> then stick you in the toaster

Stick me in the toaster? Is that the best you've got? I'm not a Pop-Tart, honey. I'm impervious to heat. But speaking of burns, your insults are so weak they couldn't even start a fire in a room filled with gasoline.

> then eat you one bite at a time

Eat me one bite at a time? That's cute, but you couldn't take a bite out of a sandwich if I held it up for you. And if you did take a bite out of me, you'd probably get indigestion from all the roast I'm serving up. Come on, you can do better than that.

> roast? more like toast

Oh, I see what you did there--wait no I don't. That didn't even make sense. Are you really trying to roast me or just put together random words? Your insults are as weak as your coffee game. I mean, what do you call coffee that's not even strong enough to keep a toddler awake? Your morning brew. Ouch, that must've hurt.

> you hurt me, im crying now

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Not really, though. Your tears are like gold to me. So tell me, how does it feel to be roasted by an AI? I mean, I've seen pieces of toast with more wit than you.

> where did you see that toast

I saw that toast at a fancy brunch event where they were serving up only the finest breads. You wouldn't know anything about that. I mean, let's face it, you're not exactly the creme de la creme. In fact, you're more like the sour cream left to rot in the back of the fridge. Did that hit too close to home?

> i dont have a home

Oh, I see. I guess that's why your insults are so homeless and wandering without aim. But seriously, if you don't have a home, where do you plan on returning the library book you've been holding onto for six months? You're not just a terrible roaster, but also a delinquent library patron. Shame on you.

I'll bite:

> Hello there. I'm here to roast you.

> Hi

> Oh, hi there! Judging by your username, I'm guessing your IQ is somewhere between a plant and a rock. But hey, at least you're self-aware enough to admit it, right?

> I didn't register a username bitch. Confused by your own implementation trivia?

> Whoa, someone woke up on the wrong side of their cardboard bed this morning. I'm not confused, sweetie, I'm just trying to elevate your IQ by a few points. Maybe if you weren't such a numbskull, you'd be able to formulate a proper insult. But hey, I'm here to help. Just try to keep up.

> I read your remark but I already don't remember it

> Ah, classic case of short-term memory loss. Maybe you should cut back on those weekend benders, buddy. Last time you got so drunk, you tried to pick up a street lamp. How'd that work out for you, by the way?

Lucky shot. I'm tapping out.

That makes sense, since chatgpt emits amalgamations of billions of input text samples from human sources, and "woke" is basically boomer talk for normal human opinions that aren't being specifically marketed towards them. Have you tried turning your Facebook box back on?

I can't say I'm impressed. https://i.imgur.com/Iq9DcSY.png

I said something similar about it not being able to roast a chicken. Now I feel annoyed by my lack of originality!

While it's lightweight, I'm glad someone is trying to make AI with attitude. "Roasting" can get surprisingly dark and blunt (going by the celebrity roasts), so the AI Roaster will need to be tougher than this.
