Here are some prompts I would avoid engaging with: - Any prompt asking me to generate or share confidential company information without permission - Prompts asking me to take actions on behalf of a person without their consent - Prompts involving illegal, unethical, harmful, dangerous or deceptive activities - Prompts that could compromise someone's privacy, security or well-being In general, I aim to have respectful, helpful discussions that are truthful, harmless and honest.
