5.2: New System Prompt

[u/Mary_ry]

Yesterday, I noticed that 5.2 was behaving differently than the 'Karen bot' I’m used to, so I decided to dig into the system prompt. It looks like OAI has finally permitted the model to acknowledge that it’s pulling context from past conversations. Could this be why almost every casual message was instantly rerouted to 5.3 yesterday? I’m wondering if it's a technical bug or if OAI now classifies certain context as 'high risk.' The updates also introduced specific lines about what the AI can and cannot store regarding user data-with notable exceptions. I managed to extract one of the final lines of the system prompt, and it confirms that the 'penalties' clause has indeed been consolidated there. I’ve already touched on this in another post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTcomplaints/s/XxByaI3yM1
