I think you can ask it to emulate any interactive system.

It's basically a new programming paradigm.

Here I create a person named "Fred" by telling ChatGPT only to interact with me as this person named Fred who has his own thoughts / feelings / goals / etc and to not break character - https://softwaredoug.com/blog/2022/12/03/meet-fred.html

Here I create a search engine where it indexes documents I provide in a specific syntax I tell it about, then recalls the most relevant document for search queries

the one with the "Fred" fictional character does not work anymore for me, seems that it has been nerfed in the meantime. All I get is either "As Fred, I would say..." or "As Fred, I am not able to answer the question, as I am a fictional character"...


I feel like I’ve noticed this happening with just about every “neat find” I see in other people’s interactions. Maybe my prompts just haven’t been all that interesting, but most of the content I wind up generating feels like it pales in comparison to what gets posted to here in the form of articles, even if I try the same prompts.


Have you got rate limited at all using it? I keep getting "Too many requests, please slow down" even though I am not being excessive.
