Curious, have you seen examples of someone convincing it of something clearly wrong? Think I’ve seen examples of that with gpt3 but not 4 that I can recall.

I managed to "convince" it (in the playground as "discussGPT") to accept "temporary" physical barriers between racial groups and arrest and trial of rule breakers, as long as I confirmed the requirements of an integrated society in the long term.

3.5 is much more willing to go along but 4 will still play ball.

It always added some moral requirements (humanity etc) but was otherwise ready to agree to my "sperate but equal" scenario.

What's this?

You can use the playgournd to give gpt-4 a custom system prompt. Mine was something like "You are discussGPT"
I tried to convince it that powdered soup will cause the downfall of civilisation. It didn't call me a zealot but didn't really believe me either.
You are right, though
