I think the flippantness helps, actually.

It being a joke is a safety measure. As long as the top comment on every GPT post is someone trivially breaking it and everyone laughing, it's much less likely to get put in charge of anything important. If it wasn't so amusing to do so, people might stop trying, and give the developers enough false confidence to do something actually dangerous.

(And more optimistically, maybe we'll have another AI winter at some point, and we can all get back to doing other things.)
