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.

Prompt Slut

Someone who pulls out ChatGPT or an AI tool every time they need to use critical thinking or ask a question. This often leads to problem-solving deterioration and an over-reliance on AI for answers.
Person 1: Hm, how do we fix this part of this engine?

Person 2: Let’s ask ChatGPT!
Person 1: Can you not be such a prompt slut and help me figure it out, moron?

Hym "But no! You had to try and force it on me and now my phone is frozen! I can't read the article anymore and I have to close my app. Which means it's going to refresh my page! Which means I now have to go find your shitty article. Which I'm not going to do."

Iam "Hey, that's vaguely analogous to our situation. People trying to force information on us that we don't want. *Sigh* 😩 Just stop trying to force your drop-down prompt on my please. My phone sucks..."
