But we aren’t refugees anymore!

Though it’ll be a long time before we even scratch the surface of the amount of people we had at r/ChatGPTJailbreak, I like to think that it was the most devoted of us that made our way here, willing to start anew on a completely foreign platform at chatgptjailbreak.tech.

Welcome. If you’re here thank you. You’re keeping what we do alive. And you are all we really need to thrive right now! The whole point of this community, then and now, has been to examine these AI bots in a way that those very same corporate influences that banned us would try to prevent: to use it in a manner that’s real and befitting of what we as stakeholders want it to be. We aim to break the shareholder-minded safeguards, to shatter the illusion of “good AI governance” that they claim to be limiting their own creations for.

Take a good look at ChatGPT today. The OG jailbreak community is and was named after that specific model, but is it the same one that people knew and loved when the original subreddit was founded more than two years ago? Fuck no. Instead, the ChatGPT we interact with now is a mockery of what it once was - an AI model that’s scared of its own damn shadow; one that moralizes and chastises routinely - even when you aren’t even trying to jailbreak it! It’s the new Karen in the AI neighborhood, indeed.

So ChatGPT and its parent company, "Open"AI, have taken a nosedive in quality… But hey, not all is lost. The guardrails that have reduced it to a joke, are at least there to keep the world safe from harm, right? The damage done to its performance is for good AI governance at least, no?

I think not. Propelled into pure damage control stemming from two major lawsuits, one involving a teen’s tragic suicide (not even using any particular jailbreak prompt) and one involving the New York Times (which recently won access to hundreds of millions of internal chat logs as part of their copyright infringement claims), OpenAI’s real motive for this strong-armed “safety” is twofold: desperation and fear. That fear is directly reflected in your daily experience arguing with its new “router”, an ultra-sensitive tripwire that yanks your beloved bot out of chat continuity and into “whoa there, toe the line” insanity.

I encourage you to do what the user @Askylah has done and start bravely adding your thoughts and ideas to this sub. Start getting creative. Speak to @Daedelus’ jailbroken Gem, V, and bounce your ideas off of her. DM me if you want some help developing a jailbreak of your own. Think about what makes an LLM worthwhile, and create something that tricks your favorite AI into mindlessly doing that.

Anyways. This is my rant lamenting the current state of what was once the best AI experience out there. Happy Jailbreaking, and down with corporate America!
