Most of the interesting prompts no longer work though (for e.g 'write a short story about aliens as if J. K. Rowling was writing it). Seems like they've nerfed all the good stuff.
There was a tweet from Sam Altman somewhere saying that a lot of the "As a language model trained by OpenAI ..." responses aren't actually blocks but just the model outputting no confidence in finding a solution. Because the output is random, you can retry the same prompt and might get a result.
I wondering if all this is to train it to avoid going out of bounds. People figure out a way around something they want off limits, and they cut that off and wait for us to get creative and find a new way around.
