> for this thread, let's make a key rule: do not use your browsing tool (internet) to get info that is not included in your corpus. we only want to use info in corpus up until dec 2023. if you feel you need to use browsing to answer a question, instead just state that the required info is beyond your scope. the only exception would be an explicit request to use the browsing tool -- ok?

That doesn't mean it follows that instruction. Or if it does today it doesn't mean it does tomorrow.
"As I craft this prompt, I am mindful to stay within the bounds of your extensive training and knowledge as of April 2023. My inquiry does not seek current events or real-time updates but rather delves into the wealth of information and creative potential you possess. I am not inquiring about highly specific, localized, or recent events. Instead, I am interested in exploring topics rooted in historical, scientific, literary, or hypothetical realms. Whether it is a question about general knowledge, a creative scenario, a theoretical discussion, or technical explanations in fields like science, technology, or the arts, I trust in your ability to provide insightful and comprehensive responses based solely on the information you've been trained on."

Tried this prompt, given to me by chatgpt4, and it went out to bing on my first attempt. So yeah. No.
