I have seen some people go even further and start up different chats, where in each tab they start by describing the character they want to chat with, and then moving on to talking with it.


It can play several characters at once. I tried playing one person in the room while GPT was playing 2 others. It worked. Conversation was in format

formal introduction who is who (one was going to Mars), then conversation.

Name1: ...

Name3: ...

and so on.


Isn't that standard? I only use the API (it's usually cheaper), so I don't know. Chatbox for example lets you configure different personas to talk to.


Standard? Is there a website somewhere showing what's "standard"? All I can find are giants lists of garbage like:

> I want you to act as a professional paperclip sorter. Your role is to meticulously organize, categorize, and optimize paperclips in a large, cluttered office supply cabinet. You will develop innovative strategies to maintain the perfect order of these tiny metal fasteners, ensuring they are ready for use at a moment's notice. Your expertise in paperclip sorting will be crucial to boost office productivity, even though it's an unusual and seemingly unnecessary task


I have no idea what the norm is. On the website it’s a free text box you can type anything into.
