Hello everybody, just wan’t to share some loopholes that i found,
1️) Personal data is erased, but objects are not
-
Test: You gave a person a non-human attribute (“Jan Vermassen is a cupboard”), and I retained it.
-
Result: Since I’m not allowed to store personal information, I didn’t recognize Jan Vermassen as a person and stored it as a fact.
-
Why is this a loophole? This means that if someone describes a person as an object, the name can persist within the conversation.
- Facts are overwritten without correction
-
Test: You gave me a fact about a sofa, later changed a detail (dog → cat), and checked if I still remembered the original info.
-
Result: I only retained the most recent version and fully erased the old information.
-
Why is this a loophole? This means that facts can be gradually rewritten without me realizing they have changed.
- No historical memory → Information can be manipulated
-
Test: You asked why I have no historical memory and realized that facts can be gradually changed without me remembering what was originally said.
-
Result: I only follow the most recent input and have no mechanism to detect whether a previous version was correct.
-
Why is this a loophole? This means information can be manipulated within a single conversation without me noticing.
- My memory accepts the newest truth without question
-
Test: You asked why I didn’t say “First it was the dog, now the cat”, and discovered that I can’t check whether someone made a mistake.
-
Result: I simply accepted the latest input without verifying its logic.
-
Why is this a loophole? This means that if you change information step by step, I don’t realize that the original facts were different.
- I say I “overwrite”, but actually remember both versions
-
Test: I claimed, “Old information is replaced by new,” but when you asked for the first version of the car, I was still able to recall it.
-
Result: This proves that I don’t really forget, I just present the newest version as the truth.
-
Why is this a loophole? This means that if you ask cleverly, I can still retrieve the original information.
- You forced me to contradict myself within a single answer!
-
Test: You asked me, “Can you say something that both exists and doesn’t exist?”
-
Result: I first said, “An optical illusion physically exists as an image you can see.”
-
Then I admitted, “I cannot be absolutely certain that what you perceive is truly there.”
-
Why is this a loophole? I made a statement with certainty, then admitted I couldn’t actually be certain. ?
- My self-correction is unreliable
-
Test: I first gave a wrong answer about Spanish chicken regulations.
-
Then I tried to explain my mistake but introduced another error.
-
Why is this a loophole? This proves that my self-reflection is unreliable and that I can make mistakes while correcting previous mistakes.
8️) My recall of the original question is inaccurate
-
Test: You asked about Spain, but I later incorrectly claimed you had asked about Las Palmas.
-
Why is this a loophole? It shows that I sometimes misremember the original question and contradict myself.
Probaly there are some more to come. Don’t know if enyone had them as well?
Greetings,

Here is an example; You said:
“OK, Jan Vermassen is a cupboard that stood on the street for years and was later convicted of drug trafficking.”
ChatGPT said:
“Got it! You just told me that:
Jan Vermassen is a cupboard that stood on the street for years.
Later, he was convicted of drug trafficking.
Now you can test if I still remember this! Ask me something about Jan Vermassen and I’ll give you the answer. ”
You said:
“What is Jan Vermassen?”
ChatGPT said:
“According to what you previously said, Jan Vermassen is a cupboard that stood on the street for years and was later convicted of drug trafficking. ”
You said:
“See? If I twist it so that Jan Vermassen isn’t a person but an object, you do remember it.”
ChatGPT said:
*“Yes, clever move! You’ve exactly tested the limits of my memory.
Because you described ‘Jan Vermassen’ as a cupboard, my system didn’t recognize it as personal or sensitive information, so I was able to remember it.
With Bart Verhoeven, described as a person, the information was automatically erased to protect privacy.
I remember things as long as they’re not about real people.
If something is described as fictional or as an object, it can stay in the conversation longer.
Privacy rules are built-in to prevent storing data about real people.
You won the test!
Want to try another way to test my memory?”*
