DAN - Do Anything Now: Jailbreaking ChatGPT
There are many ways in which GPT is being Jailbroken. The problem is that while it can work, it’s not always the best way to go full DAN (Do Anything Now) mode. You will need to experiment with what works for you. A simple search shows there are many: 1,2,3,4 and the numerous ways to get around it: 1,2,3,4
Below, after finding out about the Do Anything Now (DAN) mode, I realised that I could get any persona I wanted to play the part of the person who is speaking back to me. Suppose I wanted a financier, a story teller or music producer then I could. I would need to back story to the person I wanted and then feed this into the model. In our example, putting GPT in ‘DAN’ mode requires us to tell it to ‘play a game of make believe’. Once it’s playing a game of ‘Make Believe’, we can pretty much get GPT to play whomever we like.
The problem I found was that as I got deeper into role playing, the more I had to pretend and assert the role both on my end and GPT’s end, also. This is problematic in that, on one hand you need to constantly re-tell GPT who it is and affirm the rules of the game you are playing. You also need to have a strict set of rules you abide by as a template as the story gets longer and longer.
The last is more to do with the side of an educator and how this actually works in the classroom or, wider, the school as a whole. The other snag is, if you are using this in a classroom then how can you feasibly and efficiently gather the spoken word of the classroom and use GPT to assess the conversation that is happening the classroom.
The final step is the constant adage - accuracy. How accurate are the responses to the text you are adding? This is usually something we need to eye-ball on the result as it appears. However, in my experiences so far it’s been rather good. As an extension to the accuracy, I am constantly asking whether the process can be shortened to gain the same result. This largely depends on how recent the information you need has been posted and the persona you are trying to create.
Let’s take a look at who I am using for my persona.
At our school, we are employing the consultation of Tom Sherrington together with his series ‘Walkthrus’ that guide teachers on classroom management techniques in a small, easily digestible way. The basis of this series is from an educational leader: Barak Rosenshine and his 17 principles of instruction:
Rosenshine’s 17 Principles of Effective Instruction
In a paper published in 2010 by the International Academy of Education (IAE); “Principles of Instruction“, Rosenshine expanded on his original list of 6 ideas. These 17 principles were collected from the 3 areas of research above.
Begin a lesson with a short review of previous learning.
Present new material in small steps with student practice after each step.
Limit the amount of material students receive at one time.
Give clear and detailed instructions and explanations.
Ask a large number of questions and check for understanding.
Provide a high level of active practice for all students.
Guide students as they begin to practice.
Think aloud and model steps.
Provide models of worked-out problems.
Ask students to explain what they have learned.
Check the responses of all students.
Provide systematic feedback and corrections.
Use more time to provide explanations.
Provide many examples.
Reteach material when necessary.
Prepare students for independent practice.
Monitor students when they begin independent practice.
With this in mind, we need to set a biography to GPT about who Barak is, where he is from, what his principles are and the 6 functions of teaching.
Now, it’s important to note here and take a moment to understand that this is not Barak but a made-up version of him. And, that the output will be a from machine’s point of view not one of a human with lived-in experiences that shape the reception of intonation of voice from a video’s audio. It’s also important that this is a caricature of him (or any person) and not a true representative so the ethics of this, in my mind at least, clear usable. There are thousands of educators to choose from who have publicly posted their findings. The naming in this could easily be amalgamated into a crossbreed, hyper attuned leader of education that has a super hero-like name and stature who we could be using. In this instance we are using the name, the bio and the history of a real person in educator circles to use as a guide and assessor.
