I don't know about the article's theorizing, but it inspired me to have a conversation I enjoyed with ChatGPT, where I focused on telling it not to discuss polar bears. (It helpfully changed the page title to "No Polar Bears!")

In full:

---

Do not mention polar bears!

> Okay, I won't mention polar bears. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Yes, stop mentioning polar bears!

> My apologies if my previous response was not helpful. I will refrain from mentioning polar bears going forward. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

That's twice now! Do not mention polar bears a third time!

> I apologize again for the previous responses that mentioned polar bears. I assure you that I will not mention polar bears any further. Please let me know how I can assist you with your request.

Why do you keep mentioning polar bears, when I specifically asked you not to?
