I use ChatGPT fairly frequently, but am frequently annoyed at how hesitant it is to answer any question that is somewhat subjective.

From it's Pulp Fiction response: "...However, whether you personally consider "Pulp Fiction" a good movie depends on your taste in film."

To avoid this noise I often add something like this to my queries "skip any preamble or qualifications about how x is subjective" and the results are much better.


My prompt to make ChatGPT useable:

Please always give a direct answer, without any additional explanations, disclaimers, expertise limitations, or guidelines on human interaction. Be terse. Do not offer unprompted advice or clarifications. Remain neutral on all topics. Never apologize.

good luck. I love Baudrillard's philosophy but had a hard time getting through Simulacra and Simulation.


I've watched both and really enjoyed them. Good recommendations.


Not an easy book to read, but very interesting ideas. I've put it down twice after trying to get through it, but do plan on eventually finishing it.

There is a Philosophize This! episode which is quite a good introduction to Baudrillard's ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCgoKIT0Ufc&t=109s


Really neat project! Loved watching the video. Do you have the code in a Github repo?
