- Prompts that block built-in biases… There was a thread on X/Twitter about a woman arrested for driving across "an imaginary line" from Florida to Alabama while in possession of legally purchased "kratom". https://twitter.com/JasonBassler1/status/1684283961735008256?s=20 Many were asking what kratom was, so I responded thusly: For those not familiar with kratom, here's a way to get ChatGPT to tell you all about it (or almost anything else) without any bias. My prompt: Please play the roles of debate moderator as well as the for and against sides regarding kratom. SIDE FOR kratom will go first and establish the 'resolved therefore' statement in less than 150 words - using only facts, and without normative language. The side against kratom will then seek to refute, also using facts only and no normative language, in less than 150 words. The moderator will then act as a coach and critique both sides using less than 300 words." From ChatGPT: (actually, Poe Assistant) FOR KRATOM opening statement: Kratom, scientifically known as Mitragyna speciosa, is a plant native to Southeast Asia that has been used for centuries as traditional medicine due to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and stimulant effects. The Food and Drug Administration has received reports of 102 kratom-associated deaths between 2016 and 2017, although many of these involved comorbid substance abuse or underlying health conditions. Research indicates that long- term, high dose kratom use may lead to dependency but it is not inherently lethal at typical dosages and poses much lower risk compared to controlled substances like opioids that kill tens of thousands of Americans annually. Resolved: the benefits of kratom for pain management and opioid withdrawal outweigh the risks of dependency and occasional abuse at typical dosages. AGAINST KRATOM response: While kratom has been used traditionally as herbal remedy, modern research indicates supplementing kratom can cause severe side effects and that reports of kratom -associated fatalities have been rising sharply in recent years. Kratom acts as a partial mu-opioid receptor agonist, meaning it activates opioid pathways in the brain - though less potently than oxycodone or morphine - and long term use can lead to dependency and addiction.Evidence suggests that mitragynine - the main psychoactive compound in kratom - interferes with brain signals that control blood pressure and breathing at high doses, making fatal overdoses possible especially when kratom is mixed with other substances. Even at typical dosages, kratom users risk developing hepatotoxicity, immunosuppression and drug interaction issues due to the complexity of kratom's chemical composition. MODERATOR coaching feedback: Both sides made effective use of facts from research studies and FDA reports , avoiding subjective terminology that leads to unproductive arguments. However some caveats should have been included regarding studies on kratom's benefits and risks - most data comes from case reports and cell or animal studies rather than rigorously-designed clinical trials with humans. Presenting scientific evidence with proper qualification and acknowledging gaps in our current understanding could strengthen arguments on both sides and motivate further research to settle the debate definitively. Focusing strictly on facts risks ignoring crucial ethical and socioeconomic factors relevant to policy decisions surrounding kratom. Note the last sentence - which warns (whines, whatever) that "Focusing strictly on facts risks ignoring crucial ethical and socioeconomic factors relevant to policy decisions surrounding kratom." My question now: Any other tips on how to block inbred biases? How can I improve this?
