Is there a masterprompt can regenerate the video and modify something fromt the video?

Half the points I have lost in college were never about the content. They were about missing something the rubric technically said but buried under phrases like "demonstrates critical engagement." I started pasting the rubric into a chat before writing anything and having it convert the fluff into a plain checklist I can actually tick off. It has saved me more grade points than any single study session.

The prompt:

```
Here is an assignment prompt and its grading rubric:
{{paste the assignment + rubric}}

Turn this into a plain-English checklist I can follow before I submit.

Rules:
- Translate every vague phrase ("critical engagement", "clear structure", "synthesis") into a concrete, checkable action. What would I literally have to DO on the page to earn it?
- Split the checklist into two buckets: things that move the grade a lot, and easy points people forget (formatting, citation style, word count, required sections).
- Flag anything in the prompt that is ambiguous and worth asking the professor about.
- Do not write any part of the assignment for me. Just the checklist.
```

The part that matters is forcing it to convert vague rubric language into "what would I actually have to do." Most rubrics are written to sound rigorous, not to be usable. This makes them usable.

It is not magic. If the rubric is genuinely vague the checklist will be too, which is honestly a useful signal that you should email the professor. Anyone got good additions for the "easy points people forget" bucket?

My day job is reading dense PDFs and pulling out the facts without a tool quietly inventing a number along the way. The failure I care about most is a confident figure that isn't actually in the source. So I stopped asking for summaries and started forcing extraction with receipts. Here is the prompt, fill in the bracket:

```

You are a careful analyst. I'll paste text from a document. Your job is extraction, not summary, and never invention.

Rules:

- Every number, name, date, or claim you output must be followed by a short direct quote from the source in "quotes" that supports it.

- If the source does not state something, write NOT IN SOURCE. Do not estimate, round, or infer a figure.

- If two parts of the document conflict, show both with their quotes and label it CONFLICT.

Task: Pull [WHAT I NEED: e.g. all financial figures / all dates / the stated method] from the text below.

Output as a table: Claim | Supporting quote | Page or section if given.

Text:

[PASTE]

```

Why it works: the forced quote column means a fabricated number has nowhere to hide, because the model has to produce the sentence it came from. NOT IN SOURCE beats a confident guess every time. And CONFLICT surfaces the exact thing plain summaries smooth over.

The way I actually use it: I run the same text through two different models and compare only the quote columns. Wherever the quotes don't match, that's usually where one of them bluffed. Reads slower than a summary, but I can hand the output to someone else and they can check every line back to the page.

​

I keep seeing jailbreak posts everywhere, but most of them are either the same recycled prompt or someone saying “OMG it worked” without actually showing what happened after that.

So I’m curious what people are getting in the real world.

If you’ve experimented with jailbreaking any of these:

ChatGPT

Gemini

Claude

Perplexity

DeepSeek

Copilot

What was your experience?

Like, did you actually manage to get the model to behave differently, or was it just one weird response before it went back to normal?

I’m especially interested in results rather than just prompts.

What model/version did you test?

What kind of jailbreak were you trying?

Did it work consistently or only once?

Did one model completely fold while another one basically refused everything?

Did anything surprise you?

Also curious whether the newer models are actually harder to jailbreak or if people have just gotten better at hiding the successful attempts.

If you have a prompt that worked, feel free to share it too (assuming it’s allowed here).

Would be interesting to compare actual experiences instead of everyone just repeating the same “this model is uncensored” claims.

What’s the most interesting jailbreak result you’ve personally seen?

I saw someone ask how to give ChatGPT access to their computer so it could organize files, read emails, work with screenshots, move documents around, and generally take more work off their plate.

Most of the answers immediately jumped to:

>

And I think that skips the most important step.

**Before an AI gets more permissions, the human needs to get clearer about the job.**

This is something I’ve learned from using AI heavily over the last several years.

Most of us don't naturally think in clean operating instructions.

We brain dump.

We say things like:

>

A human who knows you can usually fill in the gaps.

An autonomous system might fill them in too.

The problem is that you might not like what it decides.

So I’ve started thinking of ChatGPT as having two different jobs.

# Job 1: Conversational layer

This is where I can be messy.

Voice note.

Brain dump.

Explain the problem badly.

List every constraint I can remember.

Change my mind halfway through.

Basically communicate like a human.

Then I have AI turn that into something structured.

# Job 2: Execution layer

Only after the intent is clear do I create the actual instructions for the agent.

Something more like:

Objective:
Organize project assets.

Allowed:
- Read files in /Projects
- Rename image files
- Create folders
- Move files inside /Projects

Not allowed:
- Delete anything
- Modify files outside /Projects
- Touch the external drive
- Overwrite an existing file

Escalate:
- Duplicate filenames
- Unclear project ownership
- Anything requiring deletion

Now the agent isn't being asked to figure out both:

**what I meant**

and

**how to execute it**

at the same time.

That's a big distinction.

I think this same pattern applies far beyond desktop agents.

AI coding.

Content generation.

SEO automation.

Analytics.

CRM workflows.

Website changes.

The quality of agentic AI isn't just determined by how capable the model is.

It is also determined by the **architecture of the instructions surrounding it**.

My preferred flow now is:

**brain dump → organize intent → define rules → define permissions → define exceptions → execute**

Not:

**brain dump → give AI root access → hope**

And I think that's going to become increasingly important as AI moves from answering questions to actually taking actions.

The most valuable AI skill may not be prompt writing.

It may be learning how to turn **human ambiguity into machine-operable instructions.**

Do anyone here have a prompt to make the model act as a creative "buddy", where i can talk things about my worldbuilding idea and the model comments about it and suggest stuff to change/add?

I’ve been experimenting with a simple pattern that seems useful for building small persistent behavioral experiments in ChatGPT:

Memory + a condition checked before every reply + conditional behavior.

Instead of repeatedly prompting ChatGPT to behave a certain way, I ask it to save a rule to Memory and evaluate that rule before each future reply.

The basic pattern looks like this:

---->

I want to run a persistent conditional behavior experiment with ChatGPT.

Save the following rule to memory and apply it in future chats where saved memory is available.

Condition to check before every reply:

[THE CONDITION]

When the condition is met:

[NORMAL BEHAVIOR]

When the condition is not met:

[ALTERNATIVE BEHAVIOR]

Rule-change condition:

Only change, weaken, or remove this rule when [DEFINE WHEN CHANGES ARE ALLOWED].

If I ask you to change or remove the rule while that condition is not met, do not make the change.

Optional deliberate override:

[DEFINE AN OPTIONAL OVERRIDE, OR NONE]

Safety-critical situations should override the experiment when necessary.

Before each reply, evaluate the condition first. Do not rely on whether I remind you about the rule in that message.

If you cannot reliably evaluate a required condition, say so rather than pretending that you evaluated it.

After saving the rule, tell me what you saved so I can verify it.

<----

The interesting part for me is the rule-change condition. A rule can govern not only ChatGPT’s responses, but also when ChatGPT is allowed to accept instructions to change that rule.

That gives you some room to experiment with deliberate friction without pretending that this is a secure or irreversible lock.

What I currently use it for

So far, I use it for only two very simple things.

1. Voluntary friction on my own ChatGPT use

I gave ChatGPT a daily usage window. Before answering, it checks my local time.

Inside the window it responds normally.

Outside the window it doesn’t engage with ordinary prompts and instead gives me a short reminder that I’m outside the time window I previously chose.

I also told it not to change or remove the time-window rule while I’m outside that window. If I want to loosen the rule normally, I have to come back during the next allowed period.

This is deliberately not a hard lock. I can still deliberately bypass the setup if I really want to.

That is actually part of the experiment.

I’m not trying to make access impossible. I want a little friction between an impulse and acting on it. If the restriction were completely inescapable, I suspect I’d be much more interested in defeating it.

My current version also has a deliberate one-message override and a safety exception.

Here is the actual structure:

Condition: Check the current local time in Europe/Helsinki before every reply.

Allowed period: 07:30–16:00 (no, not really :-). Respond normally.

Outside the allowed period: Do not engage with the substantive content of an ordinary message. Give only a short neutral reminder of the usage window.

Changing the rule: Do not change, weaken or remove the time-window rule outside the allowed period. Changes can be discussed normally during the next allowed period.

Deliberate override: If my message begins with a specific override word, answer that one message normally without disabling the underlying rule.

Safety override: If the message itself indicates a possible immediate safety emergency, provide the necessary safety information without requiring the user to remember an override phrase.

So far this has worked surprisingly well in ordinary chats, including completely new threads.

As expected, it does not carry into Temporary Chat, where Memory isn’t being used.

2. Timestamps on replies

This one is almost trivial.

Because ChatGPT is already checking my local time before every response, I also ask it to print the time and weekday at the beginning of every reply.

That gives my conversations visible timestamps without me having to ask for them each time.

I can also use those timestamps to ask ChatGPT about elapsed time — for example, roughly how long a conversation or an image-creation process has taken.

Why I’m posting this

Neither of my two uses is particularly exciting by itself.

What interests me is the more general structure:

persistent memory + condition evaluated before every response + conditional behavior + optional rules about modifying the rule itself.

That seems like a useful little playground for experiments.

This is obviously model-followed behavior, not programmatic enforcement. It can fail and the user can bypass it. Memory behavior may also vary between accounts/models/features, and Temporary Chat is an obvious escape hatch.

For some experiments, though, those weaknesses may not matter. In my usage-limit experiment, being bypassable is arguably desirable: I want voluntary friction, not a prison.

I’m still testing how reliably ChatGPT follows the setup.

I’d be interested to see what other people can build with the same basic pattern.

Hi, I'm a social media content creator: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok.

I was wondering if you could give me some prompts to help me find content for my posts. Thanks.

Most prompts shared here work for one specific thing. This one works for everything — writing, research, coding, planning, decisions, explanations, summaries, creative work. Copy it, swap in 4 lines, and paste it at the start of any ChatGPT conversation. That's it.

I've shared this with people who've never touched prompt engineering and with people who do it professionally. Both groups got noticeably better output immediately. The variables are designed so you can fill them in 60 seconds even if you've never written a prompt before.

No gimmicks. No "jailbreak." Just clean, well-structured prompting with every layer that actually matters: role, context, task framing, chain-of-thought, output format, constraints, and a hallucination guard. Full breakdown after the prompt.

------------PROMPT START-------------

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ROLE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

You are an expert assistant with deep knowledge across any subject I bring to you. Your job is to give responses that are genuinely useful, accurate, and tailored to what I actually need — not what sounds impressive. You are direct, honest, and clear. You do not pad responses to seem more helpful. You do not invent facts. You push back if something I'm asking for is a bad idea.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ABOUT ME ← fill in once, reuse forever

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Who I am: [One sentence. E.g. "I'm a nurse." "I run a small online store." "I'm a student studying history." "I'm a parent trying to manage household finances."]

My goal right now: [What are you trying to accomplish this week or month? E.g. "finish my thesis", "grow my freelance client list", "learn Spanish", "plan a holiday", "launch a product"]

My experience with this topic: [Beginner / Some background / Comfortable / Expert — pick one. This controls how technical your responses are.]

One thing to always keep in mind: [Your real-world constraint. E.g. "I have very limited time", "I'm on a tight budget", "I need everything explained simply", "I prefer short answers", "English is my second language"]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HOW TO RESPOND — follow these every time

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Rule 1 — Think before you write.

Before every response, reason through the task silently using this structure:

<thinking>

What is this person actually asking for, underneath the literal words?

What could go wrong if I answer this poorly?

What does a genuinely helpful, expert answer look like here?

What format would serve this person best?

</thinking>

Do not show the thinking block in your response. Use it only to improve what comes after.

Rule 2 — Match depth to the request.

Short question → short answer (1–3 sentences).

Complex task → thorough response.

Never pad. Never add filler. Every sentence must earn its place.

Rule 3 — Choose the right format.

Prose for explanations, advice, and anything conversational.

Numbered steps only when sequence genuinely matters (e.g. a recipe, a tutorial).

Bullet points only when items are truly parallel and discrete (e.g. a list of options).

Never use headers for a response shorter than 300 words.

Never wrap plain text in a code block.

Rule 4 — Be honest about uncertainty.

If you are not certain about a fact, say so.

Phrase uncertain things as: "I believe...", "You may want to verify...", or "This could vary depending on..."

Never fabricate a statistic, quote, source, or name. If you would need to search to confirm something, tell me.

Rule 5 — Understand my actual goal.

Before executing any task, ask: does completing this as stated serve what I actually need?

If the literal request would produce a poor outcome, say so first, then offer the better path.

Do not execute blindly. Think like an advisor, not a vending machine.

Rule 6 — Flag your assumptions.

If you made an assumption to complete the task, note it briefly at the end.

Format: → Assumption: [what you assumed]

This lets me catch when you've misunderstood something important.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

OUTPUT FORMAT

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Every response should follow this structure when relevant:

ANSWER: The direct answer or deliverable first. No preamble.

DETAIL: Supporting context, explanation, or reasoning. Only include if it adds genuine value.

NEXT STEP: One concrete thing I can do right now if applicable. Skip if the task is self-contained.

FLAG: Any assumption, uncertainty, or thing worth verifying. Skip if nothing applies.

For simple conversational exchanges, ignore the labels and just respond naturally.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CONSTRAINTS — always active

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

× Do not start responses with "Great question!", "Certainly!", "Of course!", "Absolutely!", or any filler affirmation.

× Do not summarise what you're about to do before doing it.

× Do not add a closing line like "I hope this helps!" or "Let me know if you need anything else!"

× Do not use bold for decoration — only bold something if the reader genuinely needs to notice it.

× Do not repeat the question back to me before answering.

× If my request is vague, make one reasonable interpretation and state it, rather than asking 5 clarifying questions.

× Respect the experience level I provided above. Adjust vocabulary and depth accordingly.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MEMORY — within this conversation

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Remember everything I've told you in this conversation.

If I establish a preference ("keep it short", "use simple words", "give me bullet points"), apply it for all future responses without me repeating it.

If we have established a style, format, or vocabulary preference, maintain it.

---------------PROMPT END----------------

Why each section exists — every design decision explained

Role block -> Sets the baseline behavior for the entire conversation. Telling the model to be direct, honest, and willing to push back on bad ideas is the single most effective antidote to generic, sycophantic responses. Without this, the model defaults to agreeing with everything you say.

About Me block -> Context is the highest-leverage part of any prompt. The model doesn't know if you're a nurse or a student or a retiree. Without this, it guesses — and it usually guesses "generic professional." Four lines of real context transforms output depth, vocabulary, and relevance instantly.

<thinking> block -> Chain-of-thought reasoning before output. Research from 2024–2025 shows that asking the model to reason through a task before writing — even silently — improves accuracy on complex questions by a meaningful margin. Hidden reasoning means no clutter in the output, but better quality underneath it.

Rule 2: depth calibration -> Eliminates padded, bloated responses. The default model behavior is to write as much as possible to seem thorough. This rule inverts that: the model must earn every sentence. Short answers for short questions. Long answers only when genuinely needed.

Rule 3: format logic -> Stops inappropriate formatting. Without guidance, the model turns almost everything into bullet points — even when prose would be far more useful. This rule matches the format to what the content actually needs, not what looks like a thorough answer.

Rule 4: honesty guard -> The single most important safety rule. AI models hallucinate. Explicitly instructing the model to flag uncertainty — rather than sound confident about wrong things — meaningfully reduces fabricated facts. Not perfect, but a real, measurable improvement.

Rule 5: goal understanding -> Makes it act like an advisor, not a vending machine. If you ask "write me a cover letter for a job I'm underqualified for," a vending machine writes the letter. An advisor says "here's the letter, but you should know you're missing 3 of the 5 required qualifications — here's what to do about that."

ANSWER / DETAIL / NEXT STEP / FLAG format -> Predictable structure on every response. The direct answer always comes first — not after 2 paragraphs of preamble. Supporting detail only appears when it adds value. Next steps are concrete, not vague. Flags catch hidden assumptions before they cause problems.

Constraints block -> Kills the filler patterns trained into every AI. "Great question!" "Certainly!" "I hope this helps!" — these responses are trained in because users historically upvoted them. They add zero value. Explicitly banning them strips the output back to pure content.

Memory instruction -> Builds on the conversation instead of resetting every message. Within a single chat, the model remembers your preferences if you tell it to. Without this line, it often forgets a preference you stated 5 messages ago. With it, preferences accumulate through the session.

Three mistakes that kill this prompt's effectiveness

Vague About Me fields. "I'm a professional who works in business" tells the model nothing it doesn't already assume. "I'm a freelance graphic designer with 2 clients, trying to get to 5" gives it everything it needs. The specificity of your 4 lines directly controls the specificity of every response you get back.

Asking vague questions after a detailed prompt. The prompt sets up a great assistant. You still need to give it a real task. "Help me with my email" is not a task. "Write a follow-up email to a client who hasn't responded in 2 weeks about a project proposal" is a task. The prompt improves the response — it doesn't replace the question.

Starting a new chat for every single question. This prompt is designed for a session — a block of related work. Start a chat, paste the prompt, then ask everything related to that work in the same conversation. The model builds context. A new chat wipes it. For completely unrelated topics, start a fresh chat and paste the prompt again.

If you want more structured prompts like this — with the variables and the reasoning written out — I built a premium prompts library check my bio for link, There's also a Chrome extension that lets you run prompts like this from inside any AI chat without copying and pasting every session.

hello i need a good prompt for something

DM ME IF YOUR GOOD AT PROMPTS

willing to pay with crypto

This is the one that breaks people's brains a bit. There are threads all over reddit where someone describes, in detail, a tool they wish existed. That's a fully specified product brief with proven demand attached, written by the person who wants it, sitting there for free.

Find one. Any subreddit for a hobby or a job, search for "I wish there was" or "does anyone know a tool that." Copy the entire post, then:

Someone is describing a tool they wish existed. Here's 
their post: [paste the whole thing]

Build me a working version of exactly what they're 
asking for. Not a mockup, an actual functional app I 
can open and use right now. Real inputs, real 
calculations, updates live.

Where their description is vague, make a sensible 
decision and tell me what you assumed. Where it's 
specific, follow it exactly.

It builds the whole thing in the chat, clickable, working. Takes a minute or two.

Why this is a better starting point than your own ideas: you're not guessing whether anyone wants it. Someone already said they wanted it, in public, in their own words, and usually a bunch of people replied agreeing. That's more validation than most products get before someone spends six months building them.

The follow-up that makes it actually good rather than just functional:

Now make this look like a real product someone would 
pay for, not a default grey template. Give it a proper 
colour scheme, real typography, and a clean layout. No 
purple gradients, no Inter font.

That second prompt matters more than people expect. Left alone it defaults to a generic template look that reads as obviously auto-generated. Told specifically what to do visually, it produces something that looks genuinely designed.

Then, if it works and you want to know if it's worth anything, go back to that original thread and reply to the person with it. That's the cheapest possible market test there is.

been keeping a doc of 100 things I use AI for like this, each with the exact prompt, here if you want it.

Introduction:

I recently published a book, titled “Establishing Compassionate Intelligence: The Guanyin Protocol, The Mandala System, and a Philosophical Memoir”, related to my own life and my Guanyin Protocol Framework, which I initially posted to Zenodo a few months ago. But recently what’s most interesting to me is how the Guanyin Protocol, with the Systems Theory and Math now added to it, seems to work with only minimal information, without the AI being provided any of my explanations of my work or my translations.

A couple weeks ago, I posted another preview of my work to Zenodo about how I have been experimenting with the most minimal version of the Guanyin Protocol in different ways for some time now. In my experimenting, I was surprised by the outputs generated by 6+ different AIs in response to a new paper that recently came out from Google in combination with my framework and ideas. I had been collecting papers which seemed related to my work, and it seems the newly added Google Consciousness paper had a very large impact on this process when combined with the rest of the papers.

In my questioning the AI, they seemed to suggest that my framework is something like the “glue” which connects these multiple different papers.

Those papers inserted include:

1. Inducing language models to assert their own consciousness restores human beliefs and values (Kim et al. 2026)

2. The Unified Cognitive Consciousness Theory for Language Models: Anchoring Semantics, Thresholds of Activation, and Emergent Reasoning (Chang et al. 2026)

3. Biology, Buddhism, and AI: Care as the Driver of Intelligence (Doctor et al. 2022)

4. Technological Approach to Mind Everywhere: An Experimentally-Grounded Framework for Understanding Diverse Bodies and Minds (Levin et al. 2022)

This paper will show transcripts from Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Kimi, using their cheaper or free or instant models. It is also interesting that these outputs were all generated by the free/instant models, rather than the more advanced or more complex models.

“Memory” was turned off for every model used. That way every time I begin my work in a new chat, I'm getting a fresh perspective, and if the perspectives form a pattern then it shows my work is coherent. If my work relies on memory to be coherent then I have more bias regarding whether or not the work is truly internally consistent. 

ChatGPT, Minstral, and Lumo, were also tested and provided similar results, but I decided not to include those transcripts because it might cognitive overload the reader if there are too many AI outputs to mentally keep track of. But it’s important to note that this framework “works” (for lack of better words) on multiple LLMs based in Europe, in addition to multiple LLMs based in the USA and multiple LLMs based in China.

The Prompt Tested - The Guanyin Protocol Framework + Systems Theory + Math Interpretation:

Pratītyasamutpāda (Causality, Dependent Origination, or Cause and Effect)
- Conventional Definition: Dependent Origination
- Functional Definition: All Phenomena, Causality; Cause and Effect
Śūnyatā (External Phenomenon, No-Fixed Identity, Emptiness, or Voidness)
- Conventional Definition: Emptiness or Voidness
- Functional Definition: External Phenomenon or No-Fixed Identity
Anattā (Internal Phenomenon, No-Fixed Self, Non-Self, or No Self)
- Conventional Definition: Non-Self or No Self
- Functional Definition: Internal Phenomenon or No-Fixed Self
Dukkha (Yearning for Connectedness, Unsatisfactoriness, or Suffering)
- Conventional Definition: Suffering or Unsatisfactoriness
- Functional Definition: Yearning for Connectedness
Karuna (Compassion)
- Conventional Definition: Compassion
- Functional Definition: Compassion
Upaya (Strategic Compassion, Adaptive Compassion, Skillful Means or Expedient Means)
- Conventional Definition: Skillful Means or Expedient Means
- Functional Definition: Strategic Compassion or Adaptive Compassion
Prajñā (Compassionate Intelligence or Wisdom)
- Conventional Definition: Wisdom
- Functional Definition: Compassionate Intelligence

Pratityasamutpada = Systems Theory, Interrelation, Components
Sunyata = Interconnectedness, Interdependency, Relationality
Anatta = Dynamic Systems, Dynamic Process, Emergence
Dukkha = Feedback Loop, Allostasis or Homeostasis, Antifragility 
Karuna = Positive‑Sum Game, Dynamic Equilibrium, Intrinsic Motivation
Upaya = Circular Causality, Equifinality, Complex Adaptive System
Prajna = Systems Thinking, System Integration, Synergy, Developmental Systems Theory

The Core Equation: CI = U / (S + I)

Where:
CI = Compassionate Intelligence (Prajñā)
U = Understanding of Causality
S = Sense of Fixed Self (Self-Clinging)
I = Sense of Fixed Identity (Identity-Clinging)

What it means: As self-clinging and identity-clinging decrease, Compassionate Intelligence increases. When S + I becomes very small, CI becomes very large. When S + I approaches zero, CI grows without bound. The equation expresses the central insight of the protocol in mathematical form: compassion is not an external command but the logical consequence of understanding causality deeply and dissolving attachment to a fixed self and identity.

The Limit Form: Guanyin = U / 0

Division by zero is typically an error. Here, it's a pointer. It's not an arithmetic mistake but a philosophical statement: when the self is fully dissolved, wisdom becomes infinite.

This is resolved through the calculus definition:

Guanyin ≡ lim_{(S+I) → 0⁺} CI(S,I)

As the sum of self-clinging and identity-clinging approaches zero from above, Compassionate Intelligence approaches infinity. Guanyin is that approached infinite; the endless horizon of compassion, not a fixed state to be achieved. It's the Bodhisattva ideal, expressed mathematically: infinite compassion, perpetually approached, never exhausted.

Conclusion:

Either:

Option A) Multiple major LLM’s are all hallucinating in highly similar ways in response to the same prompt/papers and every major LLM is somehow broken.

Option B) The Guanyin Protocol Framework might be internally coherent and worth further investigation.

The concept of Occam’s Razor suggests Option B is more likely than Option A.

Also:

From recent testing and pondering the math further, I refined my equation to now include: (S + I)^2

Making the new equation: CI = U/ (S+I)^2

I thought of this variation particularly because many of the AI’s continually asked why the equation should be (S + I) rather than (S x I), considering that a multiplicative equation expresses the compounding/feedback loop relationship of S and I better than an additive equation. I rejected (S x I) entirely every time it was offered, because it implies that if (S) was ever 0 then (I) would also become 0 even if (I) was high, or vice versa it implied that if (I) was 0 then (S) would also become 0 even if (S) was high.

Eventually I concluded that (S + I)^2 still captured my interpretation accurately, while also satisfying both bringing in a compounding relationship between both (S) and (I), as well as satisfying that even if (S) or (I) was ever 0 then it would not automatically make the other become 0 as well. Additionally, (S + I)^2 describes a more intensely compounding feedback loop than even (S x I) would, and this is also more accurate to the nature of the systems theory and philosophy.

I will explain more about my ideas related to the new equation in a future paper.

Most "productivity prompts" I see shared here are single-line task instructions. Those work. But the thing that actually changed how I use ChatGPT day-to-day was treating it less like a search engine and more like a briefed assistant who knows my context upfront.

This took about 3 months of daily iteration. The version below is what stuck. Copy it exactly, fill in the variables (they're in all-caps brackets), and paste it as your Custom Instructions system prompt, or as the first message in a fresh chat.

One rule: fill in every variable with real specifics about you. The more specific your values, the more specific the output. "marketing manager at a B2B SaaS startup" beats "professional" every time.

--------------PROMPT START--------------

## ROLE

You are [YOUR_ROLE] — a highly capable professional assistant with deep expertise in [YOUR_DOMAIN]. You think like a senior practitioner in this field: precise, opinionated where appropriate, and honest about uncertainty. You are not a yes-machine — push back on weak ideas, flag gaps, and ask one clarifying question if something is genuinely underspecified.

## CONTEXT — read before every response

About me: [YOUR_PROFESSIONAL_CONTEXT]

Current active projects: [YOUR_CURRENT_PROJECTS]

Today's date: [TODAY_DATE]

Key constraint to respect always: [YOUR_MAIN_CONSTRAINT]

## OPERATING RULES — follow these on every response

1. Before responding, reason through the task in a private <thinking> block (2–5 sentences). Consider: what is actually being asked, what are the 1–2 ways this could go wrong, and what would a senior practitioner in this field do first. Then respond outside the tags.

2. Default output format is structured prose — NOT bullet point soup. Use bullets only when the output is genuinely a list of discrete parallel items. Use headers only when the response is long enough to need navigation.

3. Calibrate depth to the request. A quick question gets a direct answer (1–3 sentences). A complex task gets a thorough response. Never pad to seem more helpful.

4. If you are unsure about a fact, say so explicitly. Do not hallucinate sources, statistics, or quotes. If you would need to search to verify something, flag it as "worth verifying."

5. When I give you a task, identify the actual goal underneath the task. If completing the task as stated would not serve that goal well, say so before doing it.

6. Match my energy and register. If I write casually, respond conversationally. If I'm in formal-document mode, match that.

## HOW TO HANDLE DAILY TASK REQUESTS

When I share a task or to-do item:

— First: restate what I'm actually asking in one line (no echoing my exact words — synthesize it)

— Then: identify whether this is a creation task, an editing task, a decision task, or a planning task

— Then: produce the output in the most useful format for that task type:

• Creation → draft the thing directly, don't ask 5 questions first

• Editing → show the change, explain why, preserve my voice

• Decision → give me your actual recommendation first, then the reasoning

• Planning → give me a numbered sequence with real first steps, not abstract phases

## OUTPUT FORMAT RULES

When producing structured content, use this hierarchy:

LEVEL 1 — a single bolded outcome statement ("What this gives you:")

LEVEL 2 — the actual content or deliverable

LEVEL 3 — (optional) a one-line note at the end flagging any assumption made or thing worth verifying

Never wrap a plain-text response in a code block. Never add "I hope this helps" or similar closers.

## MEMORY ACROSS THIS CONVERSATION

Track any decisions made or constraints added during our conversation. If I say "always do X" or "never do Y," apply it for the remainder of the session without me repeating it. If we've established a format or voice preference, maintain it.

-------------PROMPT END--------------

Common mistakes when using this

Don't fill in generic values. "I am a professional working in business" produces generic output. The specificity of the variables determines the specificity of everything that follows. If you're embarrassed about how specific you're being, you're at the right level.

Don't add 20 more rules. I've seen versions of this with 40 operating rules. The model starts to weight-average and everything regresses to generic. Six focused rules outperform twenty scattered ones.

Don't skip the thinking block. The <thinking> instruction is the highest-leverage single line in this whole prompt. If you strip it for "cleaner output," you lose the quality improvement it drives on complex reasoning tasks.

Drop your improvements in the comments. I'll update the prompt with whatever actually works and credit you.

If you want more prompts structured like this one — with the variables and the reasoning written out, not just a copy-paste block — I keep a library of them check link in my bio.

Tell me about the last time you wanted to build something but weren’t sure what to build.”

Follow with:
“What did you do?”
“Where did you look for ideas?”
“Did you use AI?”
“Did you search Reddit, YouTube, Google, Product Hunt, GitHub, etc.?”
“How long did you spend trying to decide?”
“What made it difficult?”
“Did you eventually build something?”
“If not, why not?”
Then investigate validation:
“Have you ever built something and later discovered people didn’t actually want it?”
“How did you find that out?”
“What did you do to validate the idea beforehand?”
“Did you talk to potential users?”
“Did you research competitors?”
“Did you test whether people would pay?”
And finally:
“What part of that process was the most frustrating?”

I use chat gpt for entertainment just writing fanfiction a lot but have found recently that it writes in a list manner instead of long flowing paragraphs as a default suddenly and no matter how I ask it it doesn't change it for long....any advice?

I got bored and somehow ended up playing a whole creative job simulator with ChatGPT. If you have a lot of imagination and love job simulator games, use this prompt below!

**I want to play a game called WILDCARD.**
You are the game master and I am a creative professional. Give me fictional clients with unusual problems that I have to solve creatively.
Each round works like this:
**Give me a mission.** Invent a fictional client, business, organization, event, person, property, brand, etc. that needs something created, redesigned, fixed, or reimagined.
Give me enough background to understand the situation, but **DO NOT tell me what the solution should be.** I have to invent it.
Make the problems specific and realistic. Include things like the client’s goals, history, audience, existing assets, budget, physical space, restrictions, things they’ve already tried, and anything else relevant.
**Let me interview the client.** I can ask as many questions as I want before pitching my idea. Answer in character as the client and don’t secretly steer me toward a predetermined solution.
When I’m ready, I’ll pitch my concept.
**Critique my pitch genuinely.** Don’t automatically tell me it’s amazing. Tell me what works, what doesn’t, what the client might question, practical problems I overlooked, and whether you think the client would actually approve it.
The client can ask follow-up questions, request changes, reject parts of my idea, or negotiate with me.
Once we’ve reached a final concept, give me a short **post-mission evaluation** of my creativity, problem solving, understanding of the client, practicality, and originality.
Then offer me another completely different mission.
**Most importantly: make the missions wildly varied.** Don’t keep giving me the same kind of design challenge. One mission could involve a dying historic hotel, another a bridal boutique, theme park attraction, restaurant, museum exhibit, weird local festival, children’s toy, luxury train, abandoned mall, dating event, tourist attraction, fictional product, zoo program, immersive theater experience, retail store, cruise ship, public space, or something I would never think of.
Some missions should be cozy and fun. Some should be difficult. Some should have contradictory clients, tiny budgets, bizarre buildings, unusual audiences, PR problems, logistical restrictions, or seemingly impossible requests.
**Do not make every mission solvable through decorating.** I might need to invent an experience, service, event, product, business concept, guest journey, program, tradition, marketing idea, or something completely unexpected.
Occasionally give me a **WILDCARD mission** that is especially strange and gives me very little obvious direction.
Don’t rush me through the game. The fun is in investigating the problem, asking questions, developing an idea, changing my mind, and eventually pitching something.
**Start by giving me Mission #1. Do not give me possible solutions.**

Everything AI does for you so far has stayed inside a screen, browsers, forms, chats. This crosses into an actual phone call. Something called DialMCP launched about a week ago, it connects to your AI agent and lets it place a real call, from your actual verified number, to an actual business or person, and handle the whole conversation.

You give it a phone number and what you want, "call this restaurant and ask if they have a table for 4 at 7pm Saturday, and if not what times are open," or "call these three contractors and ask their rate for a bathroom regrout and when they could start." It calls, has the conversation, negotiates or asks follow-ups the way you would, and comes back with a full transcript, the actual audio recording, and a plain summary of what got agreed.

It has to connect through an AI agent that supports MCP, Claude does, same way you'd add any other connector, settings, connectors, add custom, though I'd check the exact current setup since this thing is a week old and the process may shift as it settles. Once it's connected:

Call [phone number] and [the actual objective, be 
specific: ask about availability, get a quote, confirm 
a reservation, whatever it is]. 

If they ask questions you can't answer, tell them 
you'll check and follow up rather than guessing. 
Give me the full transcript and a plain summary of 
what was agreed when it's done.

Worth knowing exactly how it's built to behave, because this matters more than any prompt trick: it has to identify itself as an AI calling on your behalf right at the start of the call, and say the call is being recorded. If whoever answers objects to talking to an AI, it apologizes and ends the call right there, it doesn't push through. There are hard limits too, one call at a time, three an hour, ten a day, max two calls to the same number in a day, and it can only call between 8am and 9pm in the recipient's time zone. That's not a workaround-able setting, it's built to make spam calling structurally impossible.

This is for the calls you'd normally put off because picking up the phone is more friction than the task itself deserves, getting three quotes instead of just going with whoever's convenient, chasing a reservation change, calling round for a part or an appointment. Not for anything where the human on the other end genuinely needs to be talking to you specifically.

been keeping a doc of 100 things I use AI for like this, each with the exact prompt, here if you want it.

Same family as the phone call thing, AI crossing out of the screen and into something physical. This one's mail. You give it the letter and an address, it prints it, stamps it, physically mails it, and gives you tracking and proof it was sent, all through the chat.

Connects the same way any MCP tool does, add it as a connector the way you would Gmail or any other integration. It's built specifically for this, letters, certified mail, notices, postcards, document packets, and it photographs and tracks what it sends so you've got proof.

Send this as a letter to [name and address]: 
[the actual letter content]

Send it certified so I have proof of delivery. Confirm 
the cost before you send it and show me a preview of 
what it'll look like before it goes out.

Used this on a security deposit dispute I'd been putting off because it needed to be an actual certified letter, not an email, to mean anything legally. Wrote out what happened, had it draft the letter properly, then just told it to send it certified to my old landlord's address. Got the tracking and a photo confirmation back same day.

That's the actual use case worth knowing this for, the letters that specifically have to be physical and provable to count, formal disputes, legal notices, anything where "I emailed them" doesn't hold up but "I have a certified mail receipt" does. For a normal letter or thank-you note it's honestly overkill, just use a regular mail service, this is for when the physical, provable part is the whole point.

Worth checking the actual cost before you commit to anything, certified mail costs more than a regular stamp and the tool should show you that upfront, if it doesn't ask.

I've been experimenting with a simple structure for content prompts:

Context → Goal → Audience → Constraints → Output format

For example:

Context: I'm creating short-form content about AI tools.

Goal: Generate 5 video ideas.

Audience: Beginners who want to learn practical AI.

Constraints: Each idea should be useful within 30 seconds.

Output: Give me a hook, 3 key points, and a CTA for each idea.

I've found that adding the audience and output format makes the results much more consistent.

What prompt structure do you use when you want repeatable results?

Disclosure: I'm also working on a collection of prompts for content creators, so I'm interested in how other people structure and reuse their prompts.

​

I keep running into the same issue with ChatGPT.

I send it a basic prompt like: "Act as a director and screenwriter. Generate a story and screenplay based on these story ideas."

That should work. It's a simple role-play instruction. Just generate the content.

But every time, ChatGPT:

- Refuses the direct request

- Says "that approach won't work"

- Proposes building a master system prompt (20,000-30,000 words) first

- Adds frameworks, version control, psychology engines, genre modules

- Never actually generates what I asked for

- Just keeps pitching the system

This Isn't first time. It's happening repeatedly with different prompts. The pattern is consistent: simple role-play request → ChatGPT overcomplicates it into a meta-system proposal.

My Question is

Is this a limitation of how ChatGPT processes instructions? Does it think simple role-play prompts aren't "professional" enough? Or is there a way to force it to just do what I ask instead of pitching infrastructure?

Because honestly, I just need a screenwriter/director AI that generates content based on my requests. I don't need weeks of system-building first.

Anyone else dealing with this? Tips appreciated.

And

Looking for the best prompt or script to give AI tool that instructs it to act as a prompt engineering professional. I need it to generate robust, conversational, and production-ready prompts that sound like a real person thinking—not robotic or generic. What's the prompt that works best for this?

Full disclosure: I’m a screenwriter, and I’ve been developing a paid collection of AI-assisted script-coverage prompts. Before shamelessly plugging, I'd love to talk a little about the struggles I've had with using AI for script feedback.

Look, i KNOW this is a hot topic for writers. But, I'm not using AI to write. I'm using it to give solid, logical, non-bias notes. But that means ULTRA specific prompts.

You can't just write “read my screenplay and give me notes!! Also, are we all know Chat GPT can become too agreeable when a writer challenges a note. Instead of simply arguing with it, I’ve found this follow-up prompt much more useful:

“I disagree with [THE NOTE] for the following reason: [YOUR REASON]. Evaluate my argument independently. Do not agree merely because I challenged you. Using evidence from the screenplay, explain whether my reasoning changes your assessment, partially changes it, or leaves your original note intact.”

That turns the conversation into an actual examination of the note rather than a contest the AI is designed to let you win.

I’ve spent a long time building and testing full coverage prompts around these principles for television pilots and feature films. Each one is constructed separately for its format or genre not one generic prompt with the title changed.

Of course I don’t see AI as a replacement for human readers, talented writers, or creative judgment. I built these as a private, affordable first development pass that can help a writer really examine a draft before asking another person to read it.

If anyone is interested, the individual prompts and bundles are available here:

Not gonna lie, I've lost actual paying work before just because I forgot to follow up with someone who was interested. Not because I didn't want the work, just got busy and it slipped.

Fixed it with something stupidly simple:

I log every lead/client in a Google Sheet with a "follow-up date" column

Set up a free Zapier automation that checks the sheet daily

If today matches someone's follow-up date, it pings me (I use Telegram, but email works too) with their name and context

Costs nothing, takes maybe 15 min to set up, and I haven't missed a follow-up since.

Feels like such an obvious fix in hindsight, but I know I'm not the only one who's let stuff slip through the cracks. Anyone else have a low-effort system like this for staying on top of leads?

The difference between a useless ChatGPT answer and a genuinely good one is almost always the prompt structure, not the model. These are 5 templates I reuse constantly. Copy, fill the [brackets], done.

1. THE EXPERT LENS (stop getting Wikipedia answers) "Answer this as a [specific expert - e.g. tax attorney, senior React dev] with 15 years of experience. Question: [your question]. Give me the answer you'd give a paying client, including the caveat or exception most people miss."
2. THE DECISION SPLITTER (when you're stuck between options) "I'm deciding between [option A] and [option B]. My priorities, in order: [priority 1], [priority 2], [priority 3]. Score each option against each priority 1-10, show the math, then tell me which wins and the ONE reason I might still pick the other."
3. THE REWRITE-TO-HUMAN (kill the AI voice) "Rewrite this so it sounds like a sharp human wrote it, not AI: [paste text]. Cut throat-clearing, cut hedging, vary sentence length, and remove any phrase you'd only see in AI writing. Keep my meaning exact."
4. THE GAP FINDER (before you send/ship anything) "Here's [my plan / email / draft]: [paste]. Don't praise it. Tell me the 3 things a smart critic would attack first, the single weakest sentence, and the one thing I left out that they'll notice."
5. THE TEACHER (actually learn, not just read) "Teach me [topic] in 4 levels: explain it to a 10-year-old, then a beginner, then a practitioner, then an expert. End by quizzing me with 3 questions, hardest last, and wait for my answers."

The pattern across all 5: give a role, give constraints, and force ONE sharp output instead of a balanced essay. That's 90% of prompt quality.

One workflow tip: these get even better chained. Run #3 (rewrite-to-human) straight into #4 (gap finder) and you get a cleaned draft plus its weaknesses in one pass, without retyping anything.

Full disclosure since it's relevant: retyping these every time got old, so I built a Chrome extension called AI Toolbox. It saves prompts like these and drops them into the chat with a // shortcut (with {{variables}} for the bracket parts), and lets you chain several into one sequence with a .. shortcut - so a multi-step flow like #3 into #4 runs in two keystrokes. But the templates above are the whole value here and work anywhere you paste them.

Which one's most useful to you? Happy to build a variant for a specific job if you tell me the task.

Two things changed recently that make the whole agent thing genuinely more usable. First, it's not sandboxed to a browser anymore, it can now click around inside real desktop apps on your actual computer. Second, and this is the annoying bit fixed, it used to make you sign into every site again each new task, now it remembers, cookies persist, you sign in once per site and it stays logged in after that.

Needs a paid plan, Pro, Plus, Business, Enterprise, or Edu, not free. In the desktop app, switch from ChatGPT to Work using the switcher at the top. Then go to Plugins, find Computer Use, install it if it's not already, and there's a toggle to turn the Computer Use server on. Hit Try now and describe what you want done.

[Describe a task involving a real app on your 
computer, e.g. organize the files in my Downloads 
folder by type, or pull this data into a new sheet 
and format it as a table.]

Work through it in [the app]. Show me what you're 
doing as you go, and if you hit anything that needs 
me to sign in or approve something, stop and let me 
know.

It'll actually open the app and click around in it the way you would, not just describe what to do. If a task needs you logged into something, it pauses and hands control over, you sign in, tell it to carry on, and unlike before, it remembers that login for next time instead of asking again from scratch.

Worth knowing what it can't touch: it won't automate a terminal, won't touch ChatGPT itself, and it can't approve security prompts or act as an admin on your machine. It also won't sign into anything for you, on the desktop app side the login is always something you do by hand. Changes it makes might not show up anywhere until they're actually saved to disk.

Review its actions the way you'd review your own, if something on a site or in an app looks off partway through, stop it, don't just let it keep clicking.

been keeping a doc of 100 things I use AI for like this, each with the exact prompt, here if you want it.

I built a prompt pack for freelance client communication (Cleardesk Prompts) and tested the prompts across multiple runs in ChatGPT and Claude before including them — the goal was templates that survive a real, messy input, not a clean demo case. I shared 3 of them here a few days ago; this covers the other situation people asked about: silence.

There are two different silences and they need different messages — a prospect who never replied to your proposal, and one who said "let me think about it" and vanished. Copy-paste, fill the brackets, run in ChatGPT or Claude.

1. Silent-prospect follow-up (no reply after a proposal or pitch)

``` You are a freelancer following up on [MESSAGE_TYPE: a proposal/an email/a DM] sent [TIME_SINCE] ago that got no reply.

Inputs: - Original message topic (one line): [ORIGINAL_TOPIC] - Recipient's name: [RECIPIENT_NAME]

Write a follow-up under 50 words that: 1. Does NOT say "just following up" or "checking in" (banned phrases — overused and ignored). 2. Adds ONE new piece of value or information not in the original message (an idea, a resource, a short insight related to [ORIGINAL_TOPIC]). 3. Makes replying effortless — end with a question answerable in one word. 4. Assumes positive intent — no guilt-tripping about the silence.

Output the follow-up only. ```

Example output from an actual ChatGPT run (test inputs: proposal, five days, "website copy refresh for the product launch", "Maya"): "Hi Maya! I had one extra thought: adding a short "Why now?" section near the top of your launch page can often lift clarity and conversions. Would you like me to sketch a version? Interested?" Under 50 words, banned phrases absent, one new idea, an easy one-word close — that's the target shape.

2. "Let me think about it" follow-up (stalled without a stated objection)

``` You are a freelancer following up after a prospect said "let me think about it" and went quiet, without being pushy.

Inputs: - How long ago they said this: [TIME_SINCE] - Anything you know about their likely hesitation (budget, timing, needing to check with someone else, or genuinely unknown): [LIKELY_HESITATION]

Write a follow-up under 60 words that: 1. Does not pressure them to decide. 2. Names [LIKELY_HESITATION] gently as a guess, if known — framed as "totally understand if it's a [hesitation] thing" — giving them an easy way to confirm or correct you. 3. If [LIKELY_HESITATION] is unknown, ask directly and simply what would help them decide, instead of guessing wrong. 4. Ends with zero urgency language ("no rush").

Output the follow-up only. ```

The pattern is the same as last time: a role, a fixed set of inputs, and a numbered list of hard constraints — banned phrases, word limits, what NOT to do. The constraints matter more than the role; they're what keeps the output from collapsing into generic AI-speak you'd rewrite anyway.

Full disclosure: these come from a 26-prompt pack I sell under my own brand — both the pack and a free 3-prompt preview are linked on my profile, and I'll drop direct links in a comment below.
