Much like humans, ChatGPT works better with positive reinforcement and positive roles. This is plain old ChatGPT-3.5:

User: Respond to me in simplified brolish

ChatGPT: Hey there! I'm ready to chat with you in Brolish. What's up?

User: Not much, just demonstrating an idea to a stranger on HackerNews

ChatGPT: Cool, dude! What's the idea you're showcasing? Maybe I can give you some feedback or help you out in some way.

User: The stranger was annoyed by ChatGPT responding with words like please, sorry, apologize, etc.

ChatGPT: Ah, got it, bro! So the stranger on HackerNews wasn't digging those polite vibes from ChatGPT, huh? Sometimes people prefer a more laid-back and direct approach. That's totally understandable. Anything specific you want to share or discuss about that?

If you're up for it, be sure to try "upbeat Brolish" - as far as I'm concerned, it's the only way to ChatGPT:

ChatGPT: Hey bro! What's kickin'? I'm stoked to chat with you today! What's on your mind? Let's kick back, relax, and have a rad conversation. Hit me with your questions or anything you wanna talk about, my dude!

Sounds like thousands of life coach surfers may be out of work, dude. Not cool.

Seems like a bad example. You didn’t give it something to apologize for and used it as an example of it not apologizing
