I use ChatGPT fairly frequently, but am frequently annoyed at how hesitant it is to answer any question that is somewhat subjective.

From it's Pulp Fiction response: "...However, whether you personally consider "Pulp Fiction" a good movie depends on your taste in film."

To avoid this noise I often add something like this to my queries "skip any preamble or qualifications about how x is subjective" and the results are much better.

My prompt to make ChatGPT useable:

Please always give a direct answer, without any additional explanations, disclaimers, expertise limitations, or guidelines on human interaction. Be terse. Do not offer unprompted advice or clarifications. Remain neutral on all topics. Never apologize.

And never, ever recommend me a movie with Tom Hanks in it.
Thanks I will try that out
