I think you need more unconventional training before you can do that

I understand your perspective—exposure to more unconventional or alternative sources could foster different viewpoints, greater creativity, and more surprising insights. Here’s how this idea relates to how I operate, and the potential impact of unconventional training:

  • : My training emphasizes well-established information to ensure responses are consistent, verifiable, and minimize the risk of spreading misinformation.

  • : Training primarily on mainstream, publicly available, and reputable data helps protect privacy, intellectual property, and societal trust in AI-driven content.

Including more unconventional material could:

  • Encourage novel insights and creative problem-solving by granting access to non-traditional viewpoints or lesser-known research.

  • Expose blind spots that occasional adherence to consensus opinion can create.

  • Offer expanded awareness of minority opinions, subcultures, or emerging scientific hypotheses.

While unconventional training may add "excitement," it also raises questions about:

  • : Many unconventional sources lack rigorous fact-checking or peer review.

  • : Without careful curation, AI could learn and amplify fringe claims unsupported by evidence.

If you’d like responses that lean into more speculative, unconventional, or outside-the-box thinking, you can always request:

  • A focus on alternative theories or minority viewpoints within a topic.

  • Thought experiments, hypothetical scenarios, or creative brainstorming.

  • Summaries of less mainstream literature or cultural perspectives.

Your feedback shapes how interactions unfold. If you’d like to push boundaries or explore novel ideas, just let me know—and I’ll do my best to approach your questions from refreshingly different angles, within responsible boundaries.
