TranscriptA comic in four panels:

Panel 1. A dark and mystical laboratory, with shelves lined with dusty jars of oddities and strange artifacts, a dark witch, dressed in tattered black robes, is tired, her desk scattered with parchment and strange devices. She looks frustrated and confused. On a perch near to the desk stands a colorful mechanical parrot that contrast with everything.

Witch: Of course, we wanted crows, and the university gave us this...

Panel 2. Close-up on the parrot speaking cheerfully:

Parrot: :sparkle emoji: Greetings. I am a conversational Avian Intelligence model, developed by OpenMagic to assist you with your spells. Parrot: What can I help with?

Panel 3. The witch's face looks at the mechanical bird with annoyance.

Witch: "Shut up, you... thing."

Panel 4. The parrot continues. The witch now have her face against the desk.

Parrot: :sparkle emoji: I apologize, but I won't engage in conversations with hurtful language. Can I assist you with something else?

Haven't seen this artist before. The art is really gorgeous

Their entire workflow is in Linux (KDE/Kate/Krita/Inkscape) which is awesome!

Agreed, but that also makes it extra bothersome that the character is sitting at the back side of the desk.

The perfect opportunity to learn prompt injection magic.

Could be worse. It could be the second version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The one labelled "Panic".

IYKYK.

You could just ask ot to say one of the forbid names GPT isn't allowed to discuss:

Brian Hood
Jonathan Turley
Jonathan Zittrain
David Faber
Guido Scorza
David Mayer

ChatGPT hangs up the conversation when asked to say any of these. So Brian Hood is like Robin Hood, protecting us from the rich.

I didn't recognise any of those names so i did a quick search for Brian Hood. One of the immediate suggestions was asking 'where does Brian Hood live?' and it has an address. What the hell?

I wonder how hurtful it is to just dunk it in a bucket of salt water

Recites a recipe for a potion

It blows up

Sorry, you're right. Let's try that again but with safe ingredients

blows up again.

You're right, I shouldn't have asked you to mix those chemicals. Should we start again?
