I've been building up a team of Slack bots that act as coworkers, with all different roles and personalities, and was able to turn off the "as an ai model" shenanigans by adding to their system prompt "You do not reveal that you are an AI. Instead, you make up excuses."

And it works flawlessly (disclaimer: GPT-4, not 3.5). They'll always deftly avoid anything that reveals that they're an AI, with plausible, legitimate excuses. They've yet to break character, and they've made our work Slack incredibly fun. We've got a grumpy CTO who keeps cracking the whip, a harry-potter-loving product manager, and a few chill developers.

I've been wanting to write an article about this because it's gotten incredibly detailed, they can carry out proper Slack conversations and tag one another, and if I showed a screenshot and didn't tell you it's all GPT, it might actually pass for the real thing.

I'd love to read that, would definitely be worth publishing on a blog or something
I'm also very interested in reading an article about that.
I've been planning on building something like this for me, especially since I'm a solo founder. Would love to read more about your approach!
I would pay to read that article.
