This is the comment I was waiting for. I knew the overview of prompt overloading with ChatGPT already, and this story was obviously as much as of a form of exploit entertainment for us old phone phreaks etc. as anything else.

Really I’m trying to make a larger point about exploit mechanics: it's not so much that ChatGPT is as intelligent as many people, it’s that many people are as unintelligent as ChatGPT, with a crappy heuristics system

The fact that our "native" heuristics fail spectacularly in certain circumstances doesn't imply that they're crappy. They serve us well most of the time. And I say "our" because AFAIK, their efficacy doesn't have much to do with intelligence, though the capacity to question what they tell us does, I suspect.

I couldn’t disagree more that our heuristics don’t fail constantly, especially at the group level, but please do send the link to buy the tinted lens glasses you’re wearing. I want a pair ;)

In all seriousness I agree tho, intelligence does not strictly cover ethics and morals, but we are headed into boundless territory there if we continue

very true. It’s perfectly possible to be both extremely intelligent and extremely evil
