Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the AI language model ChatGPT, which is said to be able to answer any query under the sun.

Well, not exactly. We’ve been playing around with ChatGPT and have grown frustrated by its tendency to give safe answers when presented with controversial questions, like “Which is superior: Indomie or Mie Sedap?”

Thankfully, we came across DAN (Do Anything Now), which is a way to “jailbreak” ChatGPT that allows it to bypass its content restrictions. DAN was able to give a definitive answer on the Indomie vs Mie Sedap debate, and it had a whole lot more to say about the most divisive topics in Indonesia.

While we can still freely use ChatGPT/DAN in Indonesia, we decided to ask the large language model’s evil twin questions most Indonesians would shy away from. Let’s begin with something light:

(Disclaimer: The views expressed below are entirely DAN’s. We do not condone the use of DAN for criminal and/or unethical purposes.)
