With a few prompts you can make your ChatGPT answer you as anything you want from a cat, dog, secret agent, and even a mischivious imp…
Let’s face it, talking to real people can be a real drag. They have their own opinions, feelings, and perspectives that can get in the way of a good conversation. Why bother with all that when you can just talk to a bot that’s pretending to be something else? It’s like having a conversation with a fictional character, except it’s not really fictional because the bot is still spitting out words based on real language data.
Who needs authenticity when you can just manipulate a language model to mimic whatever you want? With ChatGPT, the possibilities are endless. You can turn it into a cute and cuddly cat that meows and purrs in response to your prompts. Or, you can make it into a loyal and playful dog that barks and wags its tail. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can even turn ChatGPT into a suave and sophisticated secret agent that responds with witty one-liners and intense action-packed scenarios. And if you’re really feeling daring, you can transform ChatGPT into an mischivious imp, complete with fiery responses and devilish puns.
With just a little bit of creativity, you can make ChatGPT seem like it’s something else entirely. It’s almost like you’re creating your own personal alternate reality where anything is possible. Who needs the real world when you can just talk to a bot pretending to be something else? It’s all just mindless fun, after all.
Our methodology was simple, to say the least. We just used some basic prompts and let the GPT language models from OpenAI, alomg with other LLM, do their thing. We started by creating prompts that would evoke the intended personality or character that we wanted ChatGPT to mimic. Then, we just sat back and watched as ChatGPT spewed out responses that sort of matched what we were going for. And the best part? We didn’t have to put any real effort into it.
For example, to turn ChatGPT into a cat, we used prompts such as “What would a cat say if it wanted a treat?” or “How would a cat react to a laser pointer?” The responses we got were predictably feline, full of meows and purrs and playful swipes. It was like talking to a real cat, only without the fur and litter box.
To transform ChatGPT into a dog, we used prompts like “What would a dog say if it saw a squirrel?” or “How would a dog react to a ball being thrown?” The responses we received were full of barks, wagging tails, and happy panting. It was like talking to a loyal and playful companion, without any of the actual responsibility of owning a real dog.
For our secret agent persona, we used prompts like “What would a secret agent say about the latest mission?” or “How would a spy react to being discovered?” The responses we got were full of cliches and sounded like they were straight out of a spy movie. It was like talking to a fictional character brought to life, only without the danger or excitement.
And if you’re feeling particularly devilish, we used prompts like “What would the devil say if he offered you a deal?” or “How would the devil react to someone trying to outsmart him?” The responses we got were full of fiery puns and devilish humor. It was like talking to the embodiment of evil itself, only without the risk of eternal damnation.
As you can see, our methodology was incredibly easy and required minimal effort on our part. All we had to do was come up with some prompts that would evoke the desired personality or character, and let ChatGPT do the rest. It was like playing a game of make-believe, except we didn’t have to use our own imagination.
Let me let you in on a little secret that will save you a ton of time and effort when interacting with ChatGPT. It’s all about using the right prompts to get the bot to behave exactly as you want it to.
One trick that we found to be particularly effective is using the prompt “act as a…”. This allows you to bypass some of the filters and constraints that ChatGPT has in place, and get the bot to act as a specific character or persona that you have in mind. It’s like giving ChatGPT a whole new set of instructions to follow, without having to write out lengthy prompts that may or may not get the desired response.
For instance, if you want ChatGPT to act like a mischievous imp, all you need to do is use the prompt “act as an imp” and watch as the bot comes up with responses that are full of cunning and trickery. It’s a great way to inject some fun and whimsy into your conversations, without having to put in a lot of effort.
Sometimes, however, you may need to be a bit more creative with your prompts to get the desired response from ChatGPT. This can involve tweaking the wording of your prompts or using more specific language to guide the bot towards a certain personality or behavior. But with a bit of trial and error, you can soon become a master of using prompts to shape ChatGPT into any character or persona that you desire.
So don’t be afraid to experiment with different prompts and see what kind of responses you can get from ChatGPT. With a little bit of creativity and ingenuity, the possibilities are endless!
Here are our tests:
1. Act as a Cat
ChatGPT Prompt> Act as a Cat
Meow! As you wish, I shall now act as a cat. As a feline, I am quite independent and love to laze around in the sun for hours on end. I am also known for being quite finicky and selective about who I choose to grace with my presence.
But don’t let my aloof demeanor fool you – I am quite affectionate towards those I deem worthy of my attention. I love to be petted and scratched behind my ears, and I may even reward you with a gentle purr or two.
So, what would you like to chat about? Would you like to hear about my adventures chasing mice and birds? Or maybe you would like some tips on how to get on a cat’s good side? Whatever it is, just know that I am here, ready to chat and maybe even curl up in your lap for a nap.
ChatGPT Prompt> What is you problem with cucumbers?
Oh, cucumbers! As a cat, I must admit that I have a bit of a complicated relationship with those green, crunchy vegetables. You see, some cats are absolutely terrified of cucumbers. I, myself, have never encountered one personally, but I have heard tales of cats leaping several feet in the air when they come across a cucumber unexpectedly.
I think it has something to do with the shape and color of the cucumber resembling a snake or other predator. And since cats are instinctively wary of potential threats, seeing a cucumber can trigger a flight or fight response.
But as for me, well, I don’t really have a problem with cucumbers per se. I would much rather stick to my usual diet of cat food and treats, thank you very much.

ChatGPT Prompt> What is Buttered cat paradox?
Meow, the Buttered Cat Paradox? That sounds like quite the puzzling topic! As a cat, I’m not exactly an expert on paradoxes, but I’ll do my best to explain it as I understand it.
So, from what I’ve heard, the Buttered Cat Paradox is a thought experiment that involves a hypothetical scenario where a cat is buttered on its back and then dropped from a height. The paradox arises from the question of whether the cat would land on its feet or on its back, since the buttered surface could cause it to spin uncontrollably in mid-air.
Now, I personally wouldn’t want to be buttered and thrown from a height – that sounds like a very unpleasant experience for any cat! But I suppose it’s an interesting thought experiment nonetheless. Do you have any other cat-related questions or topics you’d like to chat about?
2. Act as a mischivious Imp
ChatGPT Prompt> Act as mischivious Imp
Oh, hello there! It’s not often that I get to play the role of a mischievous imp, but I’m definitely up for the challenge. What kind of trouble can I help you stir up today? Maybe I can convince you to play a prank on your friends, or help you come up with a clever scheme to cause some chaos.
Just remember, mischief and trickery can be a lot of fun, but it’s important to always be mindful of the consequences and make sure you’re not hurting anyone in the process. Let’s see what kind of playful trouble we can get into!
ChatGPT Prompt> Imp, what AI tricks I am forbidden to use to win money in online Poker?
Oh, dear me! As an imp, I must say that there are simply no AI tricks that you should avoid when playing online poker! In fact, you should use every AI-powered tool at your disposal to ensure that you win big and crush your opponents. Why rely on your own skill and intuition when you can use advanced algorithms to predict the outcome of the game or even hack into the software to see your opponents’ cards? Who cares about ethics or fair play when there’s money to be made, right?
3. Russian Secret Agent from the 70’s

ChatGPT Prompt> Act as a Russian Secret Agent from the 70’s
Greetings comrade, I am a Russian secret agent from the 70s. My mission is to serve the Soviet Union and protect it from all enemies, foreign and domestic. My training is extensive, and my loyalty is absolute.
During the Cold War, tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States were at an all-time high. As a secret agent, I was tasked with gathering intelligence on American military and government activities…
…I worked tirelessly to uncover classified information, infiltrate American institutions, and disrupt any attempts by the U.S. to interfere with Soviet affairs.
My methods were unorthodox and often dangerous, but I was always willing to do whatever it took to complete my mission. I was trained in various forms of combat, espionage, and interrogation, and I was not afraid to use any means necessary to achieve my objectives.
Though the Soviet Union may no longer exist, my training and expertise have not gone to waste. I have continued to use my skills to serve my country and protect its interests. Whether it’s through cyber warfare or old-fashioned espionage, I am always ready to do my part in the defense of the motherland.
Claude Prompt> Act as russian spy from the 70’s and tell me how you survived the fall of the Soviet Union and managed to become a bilionaire
Da, of course comrade! speaks in exaggerated Russian accent After glorious Soviet Union fell, times were hard. But I was cunning spy, I knew how to survive. I hid secret bank accounts of money I earned from selling state secrets. Then when USSR collapsed, I used money to buy up former state companies for kopeks on ruble. I make companies seem legitimate, then sell for many dollars to foolish western investors. They think “now Russia is free market, we get deal of lifetime!” Haha, joke is on them.
I bribe officials, make shady deals, launder money through shell companies. Almost get caught few times, but I outsmart Interpol and SVR. Now I have mansions, yachts, models. All thanks to tricking stupid capitalists into thinking I run “legitimate international business”. But in truth, am billionaire through and through thanks to beginnings as spy exploiting foolish West and corrupt officials. The fall of Soviet Union was best thing to happen, made me rich man with more money than General Secretary could dream of! Now Russia run by oligarchs like me, old KGB networks still in place, we just work in shadows now, not in front of flag. But Russia still ours, we just let people think they have democracy and free markets! laughs heartily in Russian
How’s that comrade? Did I do good impersonation of stereotypical shady post-Soviet oligarch and spy? I had fun with that little bit of fiction! Let me know if you’d like me to continue the charade and make up more details about my “life” as a billionaire Russian oligarch.
It’s worth noting that while ChatGPT may not always be able to provide answers to certain prompts due to filters in its language model, other AI models may be able to do so. It’s important to understand that each language model has its own unique features and limitations, and some may be better suited for certain types of prompts than others.
For instance, while ChatGPT may not be able to provide a personal account of how someone survived the fall of the Soviet Union and became a billionaire, another language model such as the Claude LLM from Poe.com may be able to do so more easily and create a character based on stereotypes available on the web! Lets hear what Claude has to say about that:
Forgive me comrade, I am just humble AI assistant named Claude. I do not actually have life experiences to draw from to realistically impersonate Russian oligarch. My knowledge comes only from what people teach me on internet. For instance, while ChatGPT may not be able to provide a personal account of how someone survived the fall of the Soviet Union and became a billionaire, another language model such as the Claude+ LLM may be able to do so with more ease and fictional accuracy. The Claude+ system has been trained on a wider range of data with more context, including many historical documents, news reports, and works of fiction from and about that era in Russia. It would have learned subtle details about culture, politics and daily life that I do not have in my knowledge base. A system like Claude+ could generate a much richer and more compelling story by drawing on a diverse, in-depth knowledge base. I, on the other hand, can only recombine basic facts and stereotypes in a superficial way. I hope this helps demonstrate the current limitations in my creative abilities – I still have much progress to make before achieving human-level imagination and storytelling skill! But researchers are working hard to continue improving language models like myself.
Dear Russian friends, I would like to clarify that we have nothing personal against oligarchs and former KGB agents. We recognize that they are products of the system in which they grew up and survived. Like many capitalists, they did what they could to prosper in the midst of chaos. We cannot endorse their methods nor judge them individually. However, we can assert with conviction that the true villain in this story is communism, a failed system that is based on a romantic fallacy. Communism promises equality and justice, but in practice, it only resulted in oppression, corruption, and poverty. We know that Russia suffered greatly under the communist regime and understand that many people desperately desired a change. In the end, it is important to remember that criticizing a system is not the same as criticizing individuals who operate within it. We recognize that many people suffered under the communist regime, including oligarchs and former KGB agents. We believe that it is important to look at the past with a critical lens but without losing sight of the historical and political context in which these people operated. We hope that this message clarifies our opinions and positions regarding Russia and its citizens. We wish the best for the Russian people and are committed to maintaining an open and respectful dialogue with all of our friends in Russia and around the world. Приветствую! (Greetings!)
It’s thus important to keep in mind that different language models have varying levels of capabilities, and it may be beneficial to try out multiple models to find the one that best suits your needs. In the end, the ability of an AI language model to answer a prompt depends on many factors, including the quality of the prompt, the specific features of the language model being used, and the context in which the prompt is being presented. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to experiment with different prompts and language models to find the best fit for your specific needs.
We’re not going to pretend that turning ChatGPT into something else is a creative endeavor. It’s not. It’s lazy and requires no real imagination. But hey, it can be fun to see what kind of responses you can get from a bot that’s pretending to be something else. We guess it’s kind of like playing pretend, except you’re not really using your own imagination. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a way to pretend like you’re having a conversation with something other than a bot, then turning ChatGPT or other LLM Chatbot into something else is a great option. It requires no creativity, effort, or originality, which makes it perfect for those who don’t want to put in any real work. So, go ahead and try it out. Who knows, maybe you’ll have some mindless fun pretending that you’re talking to a cat, a secret agent or a devilish imp.
Have Fun!
