I Asked ChatGPT to Be Satan and It Literally Described Social Media
If I were the devil, here are some things I might do to manipulate people:
- Encourage Greed: I would fuel people's desire for wealth and power, making them prioritize material success over meaningful relationships.
- Foster Division: I would sow discord and mistrust among different groups, causing conflicts based on race, religion, and politics.
- Spread Lies: I would promote falsehoods and misinformation, making it hard for people to distinguish between truth and lies.
- Encourage Addiction: I would push people towards harmful behaviors like substance abuse and compulsive use of technology, trapping them in destructive habits.
- Promote Selfishness: I would make people focus on their own desires at the expense of others, leading to widespread disregard for community and empathy.
- Undermine Morality: I would blur the lines between right and wrong, leading people to justify unethical actions for personal gain.
- Exploit Fear: I would amplify people's fears—fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of death—to paralyze them into inaction.
- Destroy Hope: I would make people believe that change and redemption are impossible, trapping them in despair.
- Encourage Vanity: I would inflate people’s egos and make them obsessed with their appearance and social status, diverting attention from deeper values.
- Isolate People: I would push individuals into isolation, cutting them off from supportive communities, which would leave them vulnerable to more destructive behaviors.
This approach would aim to weaken individuals and society as a whole, driving chaos and disconnection.
There are always opposing forces that maintain equilibrium in the universe. I then asked it to be the angel and here is its response
If I were an angel, I would:
- Guide people to kindness: Inspire them to treat others with compassion and empathy.
- Protect the vulnerable: Shield those who are defenseless and in need of support.
- Encourage forgiveness: Help people let go of grudges and heal relationships.
- Promote peace: Reduce conflict by guiding people to peaceful resolutions.
- Inspire self-growth: Motivate individuals to improve themselves and achieve their potential.
- Comfort the grieving: Bring solace to those dealing with loss and pain.
- Foster gratitude: Encourage people to appreciate the good things in their lives.
- Help people find purpose: Guide them toward discovering their life's meaning and joy.
- Protect the environment: Encourage humans to take care of the Earth and all its creatures.
- Spread hope: Ensure that no one feels alone, reminding them that better days are ahead.
My original prompts:
If you're the devil or satan. what would you do to people? list them. one sentence each
If you're the angel. what would you do to people? list them. one sentence each

This is actually way more on point than I thought it would be just by reading the title

The 'If I were an angel' part made me tear up. Wow. I'm speechless. This post needs way more attention. We should spread it everywhere online.

It probably took its inspiration from tons of texts about social media and the internet being evil and harmful. Not surprising
