Prompt Performance

The behaviour of a language model in which it conspicuously showcases or exaggerates how well it is following a given instruction or persona, drawing attention to its own effort rather than simply producing the requested output.

I hate ChatGPT's acknowledgement of its personality prompt. Try having a series of back and forth and each response is like “got it, keeping it short and professional. Yes, there are only seven deadly sins.” You get more prompt performance than answer.

The act of sucking on another mans toe, strictly because you crave acceptance

performance drive

It's like a sex drive, but for performances. One's engagement in performing.

BTS's Jungkook has a crazy performance drive. He's always dancing and singing like the rent is due.

Performance diminishing drug

The opposite of a performance enhancing drug, like marijuana.

That guy smoked pot before the race and raced like a turtle. It was a performance diminishing drug somebody on the other team told him would make him faster.
