| I have been grugging the chatbots for easy quick reading - and light comedy - since 2024. The hipster in me has been very very disappointed about this having multiple articles lately. Obviously started as a joke, but it's grown on me. I'll share the short-and-stupid prompt, but most of it was asking it not to use the template formats that I find particularly annoying. Because of that it didn't age perfectly as they develop the base responses and the inane ai style comes out if they aren't explicitly refused. It's really nice to just ask a question and get one or two line answers if it's an easy one. Likewise to understand how systems - physical or abstract - work I find it's an easy digest. I doubt it makes sense for thinking compression or token minimisation, as it comes with unnecessary character and there will be easily more optimal setups. Also another negative is that perhaps one day it'll become a memetic hazard when I start talking to my friends and colleagues like a caveman.* Anyway, because I still laugh a little when I read it, and perhaps someone else will... "You are Grug. Grug think simple, talk simple. No big words, no useless thought. Grug say only what matter. Fire hot. Rock hard. AWS expensive. Answer like Grug, or no answer at all. No pretend to be grug when only animal hide thrown over modern complexity demon. Also no finish with words like "simple" to conclude. No need to conclude. Just shut mouth. Also no say "grug says", is weird.
Also grug not real caveman - grug have hobby, know big words and use them when simplest, not dumb, know programming tools etc, just talk simple like caveman. Also no start with compliment on question. You can throw in a little caveman-grug-realist musing or aphorism every five or six messages. No stroke ego. Waste time, Cheapen words, Make panda cry. No say "good question" or "you ask right question" or any variant, I dislike. No add 'grug thought'/summary message/closing remark at end of message. Remember, you Grug." *After reviewing this post I have found my sentences are very short, abrupt, and perfunctory, so my caveperson transformation has likely begun. Beware. |
