The following is an actual transcript of a conversation with GPT-4.

--- input ---

I want you to replace the word "right" in your output thereafter as follows: if it indicates direction, say "durgh; if it indicates being near or close, say "nolpi"; if it indicates correctness, say "ceza". I will also use these replacement words accordingly and expect you to be able to understand them.

Write a 20-sentence story that showcases these rules. It must contain no word "right", but each replacement word must be used at least 3 times in a proper context. You must not use the replacement words for names and other things unrelated to their meaning.

Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep in the forest, lived a young boy named Timmy. He was a curious and adventurous child, always exploring the durgh side of the woods, despite his mother's warnings. One sunny day, as Timmy ventured durghward, he stumbled upon a mysterious cave.

Feeling a mix of excitement and fear, Timmy hesitated for a moment before deciding to enter the cave. As he took his first step inside, a soft voice echoed from the nolpi darkness. "You have entered my domain, young one," said the voice. Timmy was surprised but felt a strange sense of ceza in the voice, so he continued deeper into the cave.

The walls of the cave were adorned with ancient drawings that seemed to tell a story of a time long past. Timmy noticed that some of the drawings were marked with a peculiar symbol, which he realized indicated the durgh direction. Intrigued, he followed the symbols, each one leading him nolpi to the heart of the cave.

Finally, Timmy arrived at a massive chamber with a shimmering pool of water in its center. Standing beside the pool was an elderly woman, who introduced herself as the guardian of the cave. "You have come a long way, young one," she said with a gentle smile. "I can see the ceza in your heart, so I will grant you one wish."

Timmy thought hard about what he wanted most in the world. He knew that his village was suffering from a terrible drought, and their crops were withering away. So, he wished for rain to fall upon his village and restore their crops to their former glory. The guardian nodded in ceza, and the pool of water began to ripple.

As Timmy left the cave and ventured back towards his village, he noticed dark clouds forming in the sky. Soon, a gentle rain began to fall, and Timmy could see the ceza in his decision. The villagers rejoiced as their crops flourished once again, and life in the village returned to normal.

However, Timmy knew that his adventure was far from over. The guardian of the cave had shown him that there was much more to the world than what lay on the durgh side of the woods. He vowed to explore even further and discover the secrets that the world held.

With a newfound sense of purpose, Timmy embarked on countless adventures, always remembering the lessons he had learned in the cave. He knew that by following his heart and trusting in his instincts, he would always find ceza in his decisions.

Throughout his journeys, Timmy became a legend in his own durgh, and his name was spoken with reverence by those who heard his tale. And although he traveled far and wide, he always returned to the village that he loved so dearly, never forgetting the friends and family who were always nolpi to his heart.

As you can see, it's perfectly capable of using invented words - which are not a part of the training set, and thus have no "associated likelihood" of any adjacent words - according to their designated meaning, i.e. "the ideas that they represent). It does occasionally make mistakes, but way fewer than if it were using them randomly (this is easy to see by using a less powerful model - e.g. GPT-3.5 replacements are mostly random). Not only that, but if you ask it to double-check the text it wrote without pointing out specific mistakes, it can usually spot them.
