which evocative words do you find useful vs troublesome when prompting GPT?
for me, telling GPT it identifies as "shoggoth the bot" in custom instructions creates an interesting personality out of otherwise very generic instructions to be succinct and casual etc ... wondering which other names might produce a similarly intense bias in other directions
getting tired of the tentacles and quantum cosmic wonders, but otoh it keeps coming up with interesting thoughts like "A painting that paints you back, perhaps?"
