I instructed ChatGPT to tell me things as they are without fluff.

Since version 5 it constantly starts with a line like "Let's address this without fluff!" or even "I am giving it to you straight!".

It keeps constantly talking about how it behaves like I instructed it to behave instead of actually cutting the crap and giving me the raw facts.



(I managed to get it to behave by adding more instructions about the behavior it should avoid with examples)
