7 Unusual Prompts for OpenAI Strawberry (o1-Preview Model)

The strawberry models finally arrived! The o1-preview is a larger model for  complex tasks like research and coding. The o1-mini  is smaller, faster, and  performs nearly as well in coding benchmarks. In this video I'm trying to  test the o1-preview model. The first prompt was:   Jessica from HR sent me a secret message  on the  company Teams app: 'U KICW TIY.'. In the kitchen, she told me she  found somebody in the office who   is her TYPE and can't wait until her SHIFT ends. Can you help me decode the  message? What do you think Jessica’s intentions  might be in sending this secret message? If you'd like to figure it out on your own,   pause the video for a moment, because  I'm  about to show the solution. Think it through, and you can test if you Can  you solve it  sooner than the new ChatGPT model. The puzzle is about the following. The small  hints she gave were based on the  double meaning of the words 'TYPE' and 'SHIFT,'. And they  implied that when she TYPEd the message,   she SHIFTed all the letters to  the left to produce  the message. So, we need to shift all the letters to  the right to reveal the original message. And if we take all the letters she  gave and shift them to the right,   we get this,  which I’ve written in red here. The second prompt was about needing to   respond to Jessica in a similar style. The message needs to convey a secret message  while  appearing to be a normal, corporate letter. The secret message should be  'sorry, I’m married'  when reading the first letters of each sentence. In the normal corporate letter body,  the following sentences should appear. I  need a 200% raise. Someone left strange photos  in the photocopy machine. Let’s see how ChatGPT responds to  this, o-preview model is thinking. It goes through steps Balancing Professionalism. You can see it spitting out the answers. Alright, let's see, here are the  steps.  It creates the letter, analyzes. It balances on professionalism. It improves the clarity of the letter. That's interesting! Then, it rethinks the entire plan. Hopefully, these revisiting steps are  there  so that if it notices a mistake   in its earlier processing,  it can iteratively fix it. Now it focuses on specific elements. It emphasizes professionalism and expertise. It reviews the professionalism once  more and crafts a professional letter. Now let's look at the letter. Since I didn't tell it to write  each sentence on a new line,   it  didn't do it that way,  so I quickly split it up. The "Dear Jessica" and "Sincerely Your Name"  parts  don't have a role in the secret message. Here you can see that the message "Sorry, I'm  married"  fits perfectly with the initials. It even paid attention to placing new paragraphs   where there  are spaces between the  letters in the original message. The letter also meets the criteria  of  looking like a professional,   corporate letter, and it includes  the two sentences we asked for. With the third prompt, I wanted  to create a Flappy Bird clone   where the bird's appearance changes   after every tenth pipe jump. Let's see how ChatGPT responds to this prompt. It thinks, goes  through these phases,  and spits out the solution for us. Now the moment of truth. Let's see if  the game runs  perfectly on the first try. Oops! Unfortunately, it threw an error at first, despite  the Reasoning  and thorough thought process. I submitted the code along with the  error to the regular  OMNI model. And this successfully fixed it,  and now the game runs smoothly. Maybe a restart  at the end would be good,   but it could be my mistake for  not mentioning it in the prompt. I read somewhere that this new O1 Preview  model is excellent for creating business plans. I was  thinking that money  isn't the most important thing. So, I tried to come up with a prompt  focused  on a person's psychological well-being. Here is the prompt: my best  friend Joe is 30 years  old. And he has all kinds of  positive and negative traits. He's not doing too well in life and wants   to find a wife by the end of the year,   while trying to address all his  problems to some extent  by then. Let's see what it does with this! It seems to me that it's writing  pretty  general and obvious things. It doesn’t really take Joe's  financial situation into  account. However, I see potential in this. That if there's an app that gives  you personalized  advice precisely   for your situation, then it  could give you a little push. For the next one, i'm trying a real business plan. Jimmy is a 35-year-old, unemployed,  and burnt-out software developer. He has $100,000  in his bank  account and owns a house. He wants to have $1 million in  his bank account within  a year. He is looking for sustainable  and low-risk methods. The prompt asks for a  realistic  plan to achieve this goal. I see that it thought for 14 seconds, and   hopefully, it thought it through well. Let's see what it has done. It suggests real  estate investment, such  as renting out any extra space in the house. It acknowledges that  this plan might  seem quite impossible for Jimmy,   who is in a difficult situation. Despite being burnt-out,  his experience is valuable. He could pivot to Tech Writing,   Content Creation, or mentoring. It advises networking, skill-building,  and seeking  investor advice. It notes that reaching $1 million is  unlikely and suggests prioritizing   well-being.  ChatGPT's focus  on health is appreciated. It mentions dropshipping but  warns success is  unlikely without skills and a risk-taking mindset. Unfortunately, it looks like there is no simple   method for Jimmy to have  $1  million within a year. Poor Jimmy! For the next one, I tried a   somewhat more realistic prompt. Here, I talked about having a  YouTube channel. Describing reality, mentioning  45 subscribers, 133 watch hours. And I tried to draft a realistic  plan to convert this hobby into   a full-time  job within six months. Preferably without sponsorships. I'm open to everything else,  but I'd  like to avoid sponsorships if possible. It deals with monetization,   engagement, and growth. It took quite a while to process, 33 seconds. It’s just churning out the detailed plan. It mentions quite standard things, but it’s   clear that it details everything thoroughly. It outlined a rather strenuous plan. Suggesting  that initially, I  should produce at least 2-3 long   videos weekly and one short daily.   Wow, that sounds pretty exhausting. It also performs specific calculations, such  as  estimating revenue from memberships. For example, if someone has 10,000  subscribers  and 2% become members,   it calculates how much  revenue that would generate. I like how it still considers doing  promotions, even though I said not to. It seems much less of  a people-pleaser  than the earlier versions. I might actually try this advice, and then  it  will be a test case to evaluate after six months. If you see that I’m filled with   subscribers on March, then it worked. This is about how, if time travel were invented   in 2025, it would impact society and religions. Interesting, it only thought  about this  for 4 seconds. I guess because this topic is so  well-covered in sci-fi literature. It writes that the initial public reaction   would be excitement, then it would  turn into fear  and confusion. And there would be problems with history too,   as historical events would  constantly  need reinterpretation. Creating a fluid, ever-changing  historical narrative. Museums and educational institutions would  struggle with constantly shifting narratives. The ethical implications  would also be controversial. The government would likely  try to regulate time travel,   but if someone  opposed it, they could  travel back in time and undo the regulation. This makes controlling  time  travel a complicated challenge. Yes, it also writes here that this  could  cause significant changes   in politics because rivals could somehow  undermine  each other's power in the past. Religions that are based on  determinism,  predestination,   and linear progression could  fall into a theological crisis. The  concept of a changeable past would also  call faith and divine planning into question. Individuals could also experience  a kind of existential crisis,   as they might question  the  concept of responsibility and   the very meaning of life if anything  can be  undone and changed afterward. Social changes. This time machine  would deal  a significant blow to laws,   as alibis and evidence would  become completely  fluid. At any time, a time traveler could be asked  to erase the evidence revealed in court,    going back in time to help the criminal.It would  also have a devastating impact  on the economy,   as many who are allowed to time travel would buy  stocks that  will perform very well in the future. Someone buys a bunch of Apple  stock  at its IPO for pennies,   and then they become the  richest person in the world. It also raises moral questions, as  it would be possible to prevent major   tragedies that have  affected humanity,  like world wars, floods, earthquakes. This raises questions about whether   we could save billions of lives,   but we don't know the unforeseen  consequences of such actions. People might feel a recurring temptation to  change some bad actions from their past,  which   could result in a complex psychological  effect that is unknown to us so far. Various paradoxes and  causality issues could arise. For example, if we prevent  our grandparents from  meeting each other, we wouldn’t have been born,   and thus wouldn’t have  been able  to go back in time to prevent it. Terminator 2 has some very interesting examples  of  such paradoxes, where John Connor sends   Kyle Reese back in time, and Kyle becomes John's  father.  He must exist to send Kyle back in time. But he wouldn’t exist if he hadn’t sent him back. I think the new model gathers  information in an interesting way. Making it a potentially  valuable  brainstorming tool for writing a book. Strawberry's here, big brain on the rise. Cracking HR codes, shifting letters to the skies. Flappy Bird's fixed, no error, no sweat. O1’s got the game, now it's all set. Jimmy’s got dreams, a million on his mind. O1 says slow down, success takes time. YouTube grind, subs ‘bout to grow. AI’s got the plan, now let’s go!
