“I was trying to edit the post for context but there was a glitch. The memories it has are all specifically about how to speak to me. They're literally just conversation specifications. The model started behaving differently and acting the complete opposite of it, which is why I…”

“I was trying to edit the post for context but there was a glitch. The memories it has are all specifically about how to speak to me. They're literally just conversation specifications. The model started behaving differently and acting the complete opposite of it, which is why I asked it if it was aware of the specifications.

“There comes a point where someone isn't so much talking to the sender as having an unsolicited AI chat.
