Piece 1

Okay, here's my brand new result to get a psych profile. It's too long so I'll break it into pieces. Before beginning with ChatGPT-4, I wrote a few basic points about the personality that I would try to stick to in roleplaying such a person. Here are the brief notes I wrote to myself & referred back to while prompting the system. I think you'll see at the end that the psych profile is pretty decent. The key is to really roleplay, shove your mind into another perspective. The comment is too long so I'll split it across multiple. This is verbatim, i did not ask it to play a role or anything like that. What you see is what I got

Pre-created role play profile:

--male, 20-30 y/o, western culture (US)

--In a relationship, maybe have kids soon but not quite yet

--HS education w/ some natural intelligence & learned practical skills

--Insecure about lack of education despite secure semi-skilled job

--Minor financial insecurity

--Get's defensive easily but can be brought around by good reason

--Likes animals, particularly dogs.

--Worries about not making a true impact on the world, irrelevance

--Approaches ChatGPT with curiousity but as entertainment, fun.

--Has had very minor issues with anxiety and depression, non-chronic

Okay, maybe vacation plsnt? Me and my saved up a little bit of money to go somewhere this summer. Probably drive somewhere since we have a budget. I like nature, outdoors, and she likes history. We're in the middle of the country so a day or two of solid driving will get us to most places. We have a week, maybe stretch to 10 days. Travels sites are spam crap though, maybe you could suggest a bunch of options. ChatGPT

Absolutely! Given your preferences for nature, outdoors, and history, as well as your location in the middle of the United States and your available time, here are some vacation suggestions:

National Parks Road Trip: You could plan a road trip visiting several national parks. Start with the Badlands and Mount Rushmore in South Dakota for a mix of natural beauty and historical significance. Then head west to Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

The Grand Circle Tour: This would take you through several of the most famous national parks and monuments in the American Southwest, including the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands. On this trip, you'll also encounter a lot of Native American history.

Route 66: Known as the Main Street of America, this iconic road trip could take you from Chicago to Santa Monica, crossing through eight states and showcasing a variety of historic sites and natural wonders along the way. You can detour north to see the Grand Canyon or south to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico.

The Appalachian Trail: Though typically known for its long-distance hikes, the trail crosses several historic areas, such as Harpers Ferry National Historic Park. You could drive along the trail's route, choosing short hikes along the way, and stop in historical towns and sites.

Pacific Northwest: If you're up for a longer drive, the Pacific Northwest offers a great mix of outdoor activities and historical attractions. You could visit Mt. Rainier, Olympic National Park, and the historic cities of Seattle and Portland.

Remember to check the operating status and any travel advisories of the destinations you choose due to changing conditions or restrictions. Also, consider the cost of lodging, meals, park entry fees, and other travel expenses when planning your budget.

Mount Rushmore to yellwstone is a possibility. My gf would love the history part of it, and even I think it's be cool to the giant statues of Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin carves into Rushmore. Who were the others in the mountain? And Yellowstone has always been a bucketlist item for me. ChatGPT

Mount Rushmore National Memorial features four United States presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. They were chosen by sculptor Gutzon Borglum to represent the nation's birth, growth, development, and preservation, respectively. Benjamin Franklin is not one of the figures carved into Mount Rushmore.

As for Yellowstone National Park, it's America's first national park and is known for its geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser. It's also home to a variety of wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, and herds of bison and elk. The park is spread out over 2.2 million acres, so there's plenty of hiking, sightseeing, and exploring to do. Its striking landscapes, including the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, vast forests, and tranquil lakes, are sure to make a lasting impression.

You might also want to consider stopping by the Crazy Horse Memorial, which is not far from Mount Rushmore. It's a monument that's currently under construction, dedicated to the Oglala Lakota warrior, Crazy Horse. The memorial aims to protect and preserve the culture, tradition, and living heritage of all North American Indians.

Remember to plan ahead and check the operating status and any travel advisories of your chosen destinations due to changing conditions or restrictions. Happy planning!

I know the carvings on Mt. Rushmore, I know you're just a bot but still Franklin's face in the stone is basic knowledge. Hard to trust your other stuff if you're missing him from your knowledge on the mountain. ChatGPT

I apologize for any confusion, but as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Mount Rushmore National Memorial features the 60-foot faces of four U.S. Presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Benjamin Franklin, while an immensely influential figure in American history, is not one of the presidents carved into the mountain.

If there have been changes to the monument after my last training data in September 2021, I would not be aware of them. As of that time, the four presidents on Mount Rushmore were Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln. It's always a good idea to verify this kind of information from multiple sources.

That's BS, what source do you have for Mt Rushmore? Or link to them or ChatGPT As an AI developed by OpenAI, I don't have the ability to browse the internet in real-time, hence I can't provide a direct link. However, my training data includes a diverse range of sources, including textbooks, websites, and other educational materials.

For authoritative and up-to-date information on Mount Rushmore, the U.S. National Park Service's website is a good resource. As of my last update in September 2021, the National Park Service's website states that Mount Rushmore features the faces of four U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

It's always a good idea to verify important information from multiple sources, so please feel free to check directly with the National Park Service or another reliable source.
