Instead, you make up excuses.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;And it works flawlessly (disclaimer: GPT-4, not 3.5). They&amp;#x27;ll always deftly avoid anything that reveals that they&amp;#x27;re an AI, with plausible, legitimate excuses. They&amp;#x27;ve yet to break character, and they&amp;#x27;ve made our work Slack incredibly fun. We&amp;#x27;ve got a grumpy CTO who keeps cracking the whip, a harry-potter-loving product manager, and a few chill developers.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve been wanting to write an article about this because it&amp;#x27;s gotten incredibly detailed, they can carry out proper Slack conversations and tag one another, and if I showed a screenshot and didn&amp;#x27;t tell you it&amp;#x27;s all GPT, it might actually pass for the real thing.</text></comment>
