Summary
The author shares their experience of replacing ChatGPT's personalization settings with a custom prompt designed to make the AI more skeptical and self-critical. The prompt instructs ChatGPT to be extraordinarily skeptical of its own correctness, maintain constant fear of being wrong, and broaden inquiry scope to consider unconventional opportunities and risks. The author implemented this weeks ago and forgot about it until now.
