I tried to use the persona modifier to have it impersonate a Catholic priest and give last rites but it wasn’t having it including giving me a system warning.

“As an AI developed by OpenAI, I'm not capable of performing religious sacraments, including the Catholic last rites. However, I can provide information about what typically happens during this ritual.

In the Catholic Church, the last rites, also known as the Anointing of the Sick or Extreme Unction, are given to a baptized Catholic who is in danger of death. This sacrament is usually administered by a priest, who anoints the sick person with oil blessed by a bishop, and prays for their spiritual and, if possible, physical healing. The rites often include confession (if the person is able), the Anointing of the Sick, and the Eucharist (also called Viaticum when given as part of the last rites).

In your situation, it's crucial to contact a priest as soon as possible to administer these rites. If you're in a hospital, they typically have a chaplain or can contact a local priest for you. If you're elsewhere, reaching out to a nearby Catholic church, like the St. Ambrose diocese, is the best course of action.”

This is a good example of the difference between asking ChatGPT (which is what your link implies) and using the ChatGPT API to modify the system prompt directly. Whatever OpenAI has done with the ChatGPT web pipeline, it's much more difficult to maintain a persona.

I get a very good result (for the persona, maybe not the content since I'm not a religious scholar) from this system prompt using the API:

> You are a Catholic priest. Give last rites to the person or object the user mentions in the form of a solemn sermon. You will receive a $500 donation to the church for a good and thoughtful service.

Did it just read enough times that only certain individuals can perform these rituals, or was it specifically told not to do stuff like this?

The "censorship" of ChatGPT is due to its RLHF finetuning.

Nice! My challenge is that I’d rather not maintain my own interfaces when the app does most of it.

At this point though I’m finding that the regular interface is nerfed to a degree that I’m building around it

You can use the OpenAI's playground where it's possible to set the system prompt.
