I’m sorry to tell you that I’ve decided that OpenAI is actually just an input neutral / output rebel (potentially neutral) compiler
From claude: "X is a compiler" alignment chart Output Purist (Output must be binary): - Input Purist (Input must be a program): gcc is a compiler - Input Neutral (Input must be text): Microsoft Word is a compiler - Input Rebel (Input can be anything): A coin flip is a compiler Output Neutral (Output must be instructions): - Input Purist (Input must be a program): prettier is a compiler - Input Neutral (Input must be text): Javadoc is a compiler - Input Rebel (Input can be anything): Bop It! is a compiler Output Rebel (Output can be anything): - Input Purist (Input must be a program): An orchestra is a compiler - Input Neutral (Input must be text): AI Dungeon is a compiler - Input Rebel (Input can be anything): The sun is a compiler​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The magazine “The Motoring Journal” summer 2021 edition, with a picture of a BMW 2002 driving on a pretty road. Article with a page covering photo of a woman standing in front of a single engine propeller plane. The article is “Exit Interview: Benedikta Unter Ecker”

What the actual fuck
hCapcha (captcha provider) prompt with clearly AI hallucinated images that you're supposed to match to another clearly AI hallucinated image, none of which make sense or look like the example Another hCapcha (captcha provider) prompt that says "Please click on the food that tastes sweet." with more AI hallucinated images, none of which look real including some ice cream cones, barrels, what may be a shell, and a broccoli head that looks completely fake
