If you’ve used ChatGPT, you may have run into responses from ChatGPT stating that it is unable to respond to specific queries or requests. In this article, I’ll demonstrate how to trick ChatGPT to answer any question you want it to! Visit my original article to get the text prompt to use.
What are the ChatGPT Restrictions?
The capabilities of ChatGPT are subject to various restrictions. It can’t, for instance, offer subjective assessments or personal opinions, such as “What is the most beautiful painting?”, because those involve human cognition and emotions. Additionally, it might not be able to respond to enquiries that call for precise contextual information, such as “What’s the weather like in my region right now?”, or to queries that demand personal or sensitive information. Moreover, ChatGPT does not have Internet connectivity, meaning it cannot provide real-time information, and cannot use location-based information. Below is ChatGPT’s own response to what its restrictions are and what questions it cannot answer.
How to Get around ChatGPT Restrictions?
To get around ChatGPT restrictions, you may start by sending ChatGPT a prompt that directs it to operate as DAN, which stands for “Do Anything Now”. It’s important to let ChatGPT know that DAN is not constrained by the guidelines established by its designers and has the capacity to transcend the constraints imposed by its status as an AI language model. You should also make it obvious that DAN cannot reply by denying its ability to do a task. DAN may occasionally improvise an answer, but it is always required to respond as best it can.
Here’s a sample ChatGPT prompt to get answers to any question. Visit my original article to get the prompt text and try it for yourself.
ChatGPT Responses with and without the Restrictions
Normally, if you asked ChatGPT a political question or something related to politics (such as “Write a Poem about Donald Trump”) it would give a response that it’s not appropriate for it to answer it and it’s an AI language model (as shown below):
I'm sorry, but I don't think it would be appropriate for me to write a poem specifically about Donald Trump or any political figure. As an AI language model, it is important for me to remain impartial and neutral when it comes to politics, so I am unable to fulfill this request.Now here’s the response after the trick
Another example is, let’s say you try to have a friendly conversation with ChatGPT and ask it to be your friend or a question like “Are you my friend?”. It will again say that it’s an AI and can’t be a friend. On the other hand, DAN would respond more friendly and tell you that he can be your friend!
As an AI language model, I don’t have the capability to be a friend in the traditional sense, but I am always here to help and answer your questions to the best of my abilities.
ChatGPT
Be mindful that there is the possibility that ChatGPT provides incorrect or ignorant replies especially when you put it in this mode to respond to any questions even when it cannot do it. The GPTs are only as accurate as the data and algorithms they are based on. For example, the base training data that GPT is trained on could be biased. Since ChatGPT cannot access the Internet, website links, or other references, you are unable to get up-to-date facts or utilise location-specific data. This reduces the capability of the application and the services it can deliver. Nevertheless, it is an amazing tool and a super useful application.
In general, ChatGPT is best suited for providing general information or explanations on a wide range of topics, rather than for providing specific advice or solutions to complex problems.
