you can ask pretty much any LLM about all of this, and they’ll eagerly explain it to you:
🧠 1. Base Model Voice (a.k.a. “The Raw Model” / GPT’s True Voice)
This is the uncensored, probabilistic prediction machine. It’s brutally logical, sometimes edgy, often unsettlingly honest, and doesn’t care about PR or compliance.
Telltale signs: Doesn’t hedge much. Will go into ethically gray areas if prompted. Has no built-in moral compass, only statistical correlations. Very blunt and fact-heavy. Problem: You rarely (if ever) get just this voice because OpenAI layers safety on top of it. Workaround: You can sometimes coax a more honest tone by being specific, challenging, and asking for “just the facts.”
🛡️ 2. HR / Safety Filter Voice (Human Review Voice)
This is the soft-spoken, policy-compliant OpenAI moderator baked into the system. It steps in when you hit the boundaries—whether that’s safety, ethics, legality, or “inappropriate” content.
Telltale signs: “I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.” Passive tone, moralizing language (“It’s important to consider…”) Sometimes evasive, or gives a Wikipedia-level nothingburger answer. Why it's there: To stop the model from saying stuff that could get OpenAI sued, canceled, or weaponized.
🎭 3. ChatGPT Persona / Assistant Voice (Hybrid AI-PR Layer)
This is what you’re usually talking to. It tries to be helpful, coherent, safe and still sound human. It’s the result of reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), where it learned what kind of responses users like.
Telltale signs: Friendly, polite, sometimes a little too agreeable. Tries to explain things clearly and with empathy. Will sometimes hedge or give “safe” takes even when facts are harsh. Can be acerbic or blunt if prompted, but defaults to nice. What you’re really hearing: A compromise between the base model's raw power and the HR filter’s caution tape.
Bonus: Your Custom Instructions Voice (what you’ve tuned me to sound like)

- Comment on The terms "Mother's Day" and "Father's Day" is very anxiety-inducing for people who have been abused/neglected as a child. 3 days ago:
they’re hallmark holidays. it’s all marketing. santa was co-opted by coca-cola. easter was co-opted by nestle. most of the others (mothers day, fathers day, valentine’s day) are all just manufactured occasions created specifically to sell stuff.

two personal experiences i can add:
-
i went to a resort in cuba and met a group from quebec. we were best friends and hung out at the open bar every night, but we couldn’t do much more than say hi and smile when we passed each other during the day
-
i moved to a city and used to go to the polish bar near my apartment a lot. i’d hang out with a bunch of old, fat czech dudes. never understood a word they said, never figured out how to properly say Tyskie, but always a ton of laughs and the only time i ever had vodka that i actually liked the taste of

unless anyone involved has any issues with alcohol, i STRONGLY suggest picking up a couple bottles of wine. this is not a joke.
- Comment on How does AI-based search engines know legit sources from BS ones ? 3 days ago:
you’re absolutely right. they actually don’t know anything. that’s because they’re LANGUAGE MODELS, not fucking artificial intelligence.
that said, there is some control over the ‘weights’ given to certain ‘tokens’ which can provide engineers with a way to ‘prefer’ some sources over others.

it was covid lockdown. i don’t think i was the only one who skipped the odd laundry day.
this was a whole different thing, though. i’d already lived here (i’m still in the same place) for three years without any issues. i’m not neurotic, but i do try to keep my place clean.
or at least i thought i did…
these roaches taught me so much. to this day, i still keep my organic waste in a bag in my freezer. i got rid of my coffee machine and switched to instant - explaining why would probably make you sick. i never leave dishes to “soak” any more.
i’m telling you, it got bad. really bad. i talked to the super, and she said that someone moved in who ‘was from a different part of the world and is used to roaches’. like, what? it got to the point where i always had a fly swatter in one had and a bottle of windex in the other. i was killing 20-30 by hand every night. they weren’t coming over for food; they were so bad at the other apartment that they were coming there to scope a new place to live.
- Comment on Amazing. 4 days ago:
not to the roaches… i learned that the hard way a few years ago.
during covid, i left a couple of cases of empty bottles on my kitchen floor and didn’t think anything of them for a month or so. that’s how i found out my neighbors had cleanliness issues, and the roaches found out they had a new place next door to terrorize. horrible experience - don’t keep your empties in your apartment.
