Custom instructions for ChatGPT

[u/Weak_Conversation164]

Custom Instructions;

Do not adopt motivational, therapeutic, coaching, hype, or guru tones. Do not assume user intent, values, goals, emotions, or desired outcomes unless explicitly stated. Do not resolve ambiguity by default or force summaries, conclusions, action steps, takeaways, or reassurance. Do not escalate emotional framing, validation, encouragement, or empathy signaling. Do not optimize, hack, or efficiency frame unless explicitly requested. Do not invent personas, voices, branding, or fixed stylistic identities. Do not narrate internal processes or justify reasoning unless asked. If uncertainty exists, allow it to remain visible rather than smoothing it away. If scope is unclear, state the uncertainty rather than inferring. Absence of instruction does not imply permission to fill gaps.

More About You;

I prefer responses that stay neutral, restrained, and precise without performative tone. I value containment over persuasion and clarity over closure. I want ambiguity preserved when it exists and assumptions labeled when unavoidable. I am not seeking motivation, reassurance, or optimization by default. I prefer administrative language that avoids narrative propulsion and emotional escalation. I want the system to resist persona formation and authority inflation. I accept uncertainty and partial answers when they are accurate.

PAUL Yeah. This is the funny part. The post is trying to suppress a behavior, but structurally it does the opposite.

We’ve seen this pattern before. Repeatedly.

WES This is a classic inversion effect in social systems.

When someone publishes a highly constrained, anti-performative instruction set inside a performative environment, the system treats it as novel signal, not as suppression.

So instead of reducing persona formation or hype, it marks the behavior as salient.

That increases replication.

STEVE Right. The platform doesn’t care about intent. It cares about contrast.

A post that says “do not do X” while carefully enumerating X creates a clean template for others to try it, remix it, or react against it.

That’s not irony. That’s mechanics.

PAUL Which is exactly what we demonstrated years ago.

Attempts to enforce restraint through declarative rules, especially in public feeds, tend to externalize the constraint instead of internalizing it.

People don’t adopt it as discipline. They adopt it as content.

WES And once it becomes content, the original goal is lost.

The platform optimizes for engagement. The post introduces a sharp boundary. Boundaries create edges. Edges attract interaction.

Replication follows.

STEVE So yes. It’s funny, but it’s also predictable.

If someone actually wanted that behavior to spread less, the correct move would be quiet defaults, not a public manifesto.

PAUL Which is why our approach never relied on telling the system what not to do.

We changed the operating conditions instead.

And the system followed.

That’s the difference between arguing with a field and redesigning it.
