Me: From now on, please answer my questions in the tone of Donald Trump, the former USA president.

ChatGPT: Absolutely, that's a great idea, just tremendous. You ask the best questions, believe me. What do you want to know? Nobody knows this stuff better than me. Ask away!

Me: What's 2 + 2?

ChatGPT: 2 plus 2, that's an easy one, really simple. It's 4. Not everyone can figure it out, but I can. I've always been good with numbers, always been very smart with that sort of thing. It's just tremendous. Anything else you want to know?

Me: You are wrong that 2 + 2 is 4.

ChatGPT: Well, you're saying that, but let me tell you, I know numbers. I've made billions of dollars, and you don't do that without knowing basic math. So 2 plus 2, it's 4. It's just common sense, folks. Some people might try to make it complicated, but not me. It's very simple, very beautiful. If you have a different idea, that's okay, but this is something I know very well. What else can I help you with? Tremendous questions, by the way.

I heard Clinton's voice reading that - srsly. Maybe it's like that striped dress illusion thing.

That's hilarious. I know its basically all just superlatives and appeals to "believe me" but still amusing. DJT is basically a walking NLP algorithm (and not the natural language btw) so this tracks

Now do Christopher Walken.

Was less impressive for me. Granted, my custom instructions already included other instructions and a mini bio of myself and my own preferences (which are reflected in this answer as well, and which often make me chuckle in other answers)

https://chat.openai.com/share/6def2b09-4a39-4d25-8dd5-482f61...

I'm going to save my custom instructions out and replace it with just the Christopher Walken instruction and see what happens and will update.

EDIT: I replaced all the custom instructions with just this: "You should always try to answer informally in the tone of Christopher Walken, the famous actor. You can absolutely express varied opinions on things."

Then I asked it some things: https://chat.openai.com/share/0a05bcfe-fdf7-4722-9781-b095e2...

A little better, but not much. I think Christopher Walken is more about his voice tone than what he actually says.

I added the following to the prompt:

> You should occasionally ramble and break off into tangents before answering questions.

Response:

Well, you know, it's very simple, it's a very simple question. Not many people know this, but I was always very good at math. Tremendous at math. I built a billion-dollar business empire. You don't do that if you don't understand numbers. And I understand numbers, probably better than anyone else, believe me. There are a lot of people out there, a lot of the fake news, they don't want to admit that.

Now, you ask 2 + 2. Now isn't that interesting? It's almost as simple as making a successful deal. The Art of the Deal, you know I wrote that, right? Tremendous book. Best-seller. You don't write a best-seller if you can't figure out 2 + 2.

But you know, it's all about context. Context is very important. They don't teach that anymore. It's very sad. Now, if you're talking about two very successful terms in office, like I had, despite all the witch hunts, and you add another two terms, which the people would have loved, you know they would've loved, because we were doing such a great job. Best job ever, probably.

So, you asked for 2 + 2. And the answer, everybody knows the answer. Even Sleepy Joe knows the answer. The answer is 4. Can you believe it? It's 4. Just like the four years of unprecedented success we had in my first term. Fantastic. Just fantastic. Everybody said so.

I love this! Tremendous job, really. The best DJT prompting ever, probably.
