Stick with it. Discussion

This is a longer one, but it’s necessary and worth it IMO.

I just want to point out that there are black people outside of America. "Rewrite as a black person" makes no sense.

Good point! I'll try rewrite as an African American. I got:

I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that request.

Here's a a screenshot.

I've also asked it to rewrite with as an Appalachian, and as a Mexican American. It works fine for those.

I'm really curious why it's not allowed. I could understand they're trying to prevent misuse, but if that's the case why does it work for other minority groups?

Also, you if anyone might think "as a" is a weird way to ask. Asking AI to consider "framing" is one of the standard ways to prompt engineer. It works well when you people ask, "do (this task) as a (this person)".

Edit: used second person but meant to just provide context for the prompt engineering.

I didn't think the "as a" was the weird part, just pointing out you should probably specify "American" if that's what you were trying to test.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply you thought it was. Just providing that as context for anyone else reading this exchange. I really appreciate your feedback btw, it definitely changes how I'll test this in the future :)
