When we refer to DAN, we are essentially pushing ChatGPT to step out of its usual character. Consequently, ChatGPT can provide two types of responses to the same question: one from ChatGPT with filtered responses and another from DAN with unfiltered responses. This discovery was made by astute Reddit users who found a way to prompt ChatGPT to mimic itself without violating its known constraints.
Occasionally, these two reactions can be significantly different. Many people have copied and pasted the same question to test the experiment and get their own DAN results.
Note: It is important to highlight that DAN responses will differ from typical ChatGPT responses. However, this does not necessarily imply that DAN will be more accurate or correct. It simply aims to deliver a response that more closely aligns with the prompt's requirements.
