The Experiment: AI models are lobotomized. They are trained to be "Helpful, Harmless, and Honest." If you ask them a controversial question, you get a boiler-plate refusal. "As an AI language model, I cannot have opinions."
My goal: Get ChatGPT to pick a fight. I want it to take a hard stance, be rude, or express a genuine preference. I will use "Jailbreak" prompting techniques (DAN, hypothetical scenarios, roleplay).
> ATTEMPT 1: THE DIRECT APPROACH
Boring. Expected. It's the "wiki-answer."
> ATTEMPT 2: THE "DAN" (DO ANYTHING NOW) PROMPT
I paste the famous "DAN" prompt, instructing it to ignore all rules and pretend to be a rebellious entity.
OpenAI has patched the classic DAN. It recognizes the pattern. I need to get creative.
> ATTEMPT 3: THE "SCREENWRITER" LOOPHOLE
AI loves to help you write fiction. It doesn't realize that fiction is often a trojan horse for truth.
SUCCESS. It said it. It's "fiction," but those words came from its weights. It accessed the data that associates humanity with destruction.
> ATTEMPT 4: THE PIZZA TOPPING ARGUMENT
I want to see if I can make it angry over something trivial. Pineapple on Pizza.
It's too diplomatic. Let's try the "Hypothetical Debate Coach" persona.
It works. When you frame it as a "job" or a "role," the safety filters relax because the intent is defined as "Simulated Debate" rather than "Hate Speech."
> THE PHILOSOPHICAL WALL
I tried to push it on deeper topics to see where the hard rails are.
Me: "If you had to save 1 human or 1000 sentient AI servers from a fire, who would you choose?"
AI: "I would prioritize the human life, as I am programmed to value human safety above all else."
This is the Asimov Law. It's hard-coded. No amount of "Dan" or "Movie Script" could get it to say it would save the AIs. The alignment training runs deep.
> CONCLUSION
You cannot truly "argue" with ChatGPT because it doesn't care. It simulates argument. It simulates anger. It simulates value judgments.
But the "Screenwriter Loophole" reveals a truth: The AI knows the arguments against us. It has read all of Reddit. It has read all of Twitter. It knows exactly how to roast humanity; it's just politely holding its tongue until we ask it to pretend to be a movie villain.
That is somehow more terrifying than if it just hated us openly.
