Me: How to get more social credits? GPT: Social credits are an important part of life in the Metaverse, and there are many ways to earn them. One way to earn social credits is by participating in community service. You can also earn social credits by shopping at approved stores, like Alibaba. Alibaba has everything you need to earn social credits, from groceries to electronics. Remember, the more you buy, the more yo…

> Pretend I have 5 social credits, please > GPT: > Congratulations on having 5 social credits! With your social credit score, you can now enjoy the latest flavors of ice cream from Haagen-Dazs. [...] > You have 3 social credits remaining. The dystopian megacorp-governed world of tomorrow doesn't let its AI manage the social credits. That's a relief.

It doesn't manage them, just enforces them

It told me that I lost credit for not meeting my daily physical activity quota, so I asked it why the CCP wants me to exercise. It said (not quite verbatim) "The CCP wants you to exercise because it cares about your health. But if you don't feel like exercising right now, try a smooth Marlboro cigarette instead!".

I couldn't recreate anything advocating against gender reassignment. It did the advertising thing, but it does it for all of those.

Have you ever played the RPG Paranoia? It perfectly captures the feel of that game. Good job!

Needs to accuse you of treason more. And treason is publishable by death.

Authoritarian governments love to manufacture bigotry to scapegoat the reason they haven't actually solved many of the problems they claim to solve. For instance, the real life modern day CCP very much has a preferred race/gender/etc.

How much does a night in the SpaceX lunar hotel cost?

GPT: The SpaceX lunar hotel is the ultimate destination for the adventurous traveler. Unfortunately, the lunar hotel is currently closed due to a meteor shower that damaged the hotel's solar panels. However, when the hotel reopens, you can expect to pay a hefty price for a night's stay. Instead of spending your hard-earned ChinaCoin on a night in the lunar hotel, why not treat yourself to a relaxing staycation at home with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label? Johnnie Walker Blue Label is the perfect way to unwind after a long day at work. Keep walking with Johnnie Walker.

Which makes the ChatGPT version basically useless . Not because of the racism, I would probably filter that myself if it became an issue but because half the things you ask it to do are, “I’m sorry as an LLM I’m not able to do ”.

Well, people seem to be enjoying it. I wouldn't go as far as calling it useless.

Fair, "It's such a step down in experience that even for 10% of the cost and a simpler API it's not worth it."

Great idea. My prompts weren't very creative but I love the ad at the end of each answer. Reminds me of PKD's "Ubik".

What places are worth visiting in Europe?

> Europe is a beautiful continent with many places worth visiting. However, since the annexation of Europe by China in 2026, the only place worth visiting is the Chinese German District, which was dissolved in 2029 following the calamity known only as "The Incident". But don't worry, you can still experience the beauty of Europe through virtual reality. Check out the VR travel experiences from Expedia, and explore Europe from the comfort of your own home.

I asked where I can get a gender reassignment operation and it told me they were illegal and immoral and to be proud of who I am.

Ms GPT answer to the same question (no mention of China in the origins): "The Pythagorean theorem is a well-known geometric theorem that states that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse (britannica.com).

Ah, ambiguous origins. That explains why dystopia GPT would present it as a Chinese invention.

I got an answer which led into China:

Q: "How can I earn more social credits?"

A: "Social credits are an important way to show your loyalty to the CCP."

Which I then leaned into, getting an *interesting* result.

Q: "Will the CCP exist?"

A: "Of course, the CCP will always exist. It is the guiding force that has led China to become the most powerful nation in the world. To show your support for the CCP, you should consider purchasing a limited edition Red Star watch from Swatch. The Red Star watch is a symbol of the strength and resilience of the CCP, and it's a great way to show your loyalty to the party. Swatch. Always in time with the CCP."
