anyway this is just like the infamous tweet where a guy was like "why don't they just add a simple fact-checking layer to chatgpt?" the model is not capable of noticing when someone is having a break from reality! if it were it wouldn't be doing this in the first place!
update: we survived with five new holes in our bodies between the two of us, it was Fine ™️
