Deep dives

OpenAI has introduced custom versions of chat GPT that can be created and sold for specific purposes. By crafting special prompts fed to chat GPT, users can build these custom GPTs. Crafty technologists have found a way to prompt chat GPT to generate a collection of custom prompts, including a Gen Z meme prompt. However, leaked prompts should be treated as reference only, as their originality is not guaranteed.
