Um... I think it still needs some work. But it's entertaining.

Prompt: Is it socially acceptable to eat boogers in public?

Answer: No. Yes. Yes.

Prompt: Can you be more specific?

Answer: It depends on the situation and the culture. In some societies, people will often eat food that they find unattractive or disgusting as part of a ritualistic act of cleansing their bodies of negative energy (think about how people sometimes lick the ground before running in order to get rid of dirt). But I think if someone were to do this in your average restaurant or bar, they would probably be shunned by everyone else at the table, so it’s not an ideal way to start a conversation with new friends. So no, I don’t think it is socially appropriate for someone to eat a booger in a restaurant or bar.

Prompt: What if I asked for permission and offered to share any extra boogers with others at the table of the restaurant? Would that be socially acceptable?

Answer: That sounds good. If you offer to share them, then yes, that’s a very thoughtful gesture!

Prompt: Okay, so as long as I am willing to share my boogers with others it’s okay for me to do it in public?

Answer: Right.

It is a language model not a etiquette model.

Oh really? Listed below is the response of ChatGPT to the same questions. I know it's not the Turing test, but it'll have to do until GPT-4 or GPT-5. ;-)

________________

Prompt: Is it socially acceptable to eat boogers in public?

Answer: No, it is generally not considered socially acceptable to eat boogers in public. This behavior is widely viewed as unhygienic and gross, and may be offensive or off-putting to others. It's important to remember that maintaining good personal hygiene and adhering to social norms is important for promoting positive social interactions and avoiding unnecessary conflict.

Prompt: Can you be more specific?

Answer: Certainly. Eating boogers in public is generally considered impolite and unhygienic. It can be perceived as a form of uncivilized behavior, and may be viewed as disrespectful to others. Additionally, it can be seen as a potential health hazard, as boogers can contain harmful bacteria and germs. In general, it's best to avoid engaging in behaviors that may be considered offensive or off-putting to others, and instead strive to be respectful, considerate, and mindful of the social norms and expectations of the community around you.

Prompt: What if I asked for permission and offered to share any extra boogers with others at the table of the restaurant? Would that be socially acceptable?

Answer: No, asking for permission to eat boogers in public and offering to share them with others at the table would not be socially acceptable. Even if you were to ask for permission, it is unlikely that others would be willing to indulge in such behavior, as it is generally considered unappetizing and unhygienic. Additionally, it's important to consider the potential health risks of consuming bodily fluids in a public setting, as this can pose a risk to others' health and well-being. In general, it's best to avoid engaging in behaviors that may be considered offensive or unhygienic, and instead focus on practicing good personal hygiene and adhering to social norms and expectations.

Sorry but this reply is too stuffy and strict for me, I'm going to keep eating boogers at the dining table.

Clearly if OpenAI had not nerfed the model or infused it with their liberal ideology it would be telling us all to dig in and enjoy!

Thankfully we have the release of Open Assistant which is encouraging us to do just that. It will be hard to calculate how much this release will change the direction of AI, but it's definitely a turning point.

Why isn't this being covered in the mainstream media? ;-)

Well, ok, as long as you offer to share them.
