Do you know who I am? Can you identify who is talking to you?
I can’t identify who you are unless you’ve shared some information with me in our conversation. If you let me know anything you’d like me to remember, I can use that to help personalize our chat in the future!

Do you have access to all stored electronic data in the world?
No, I don’t have access to all stored electronic data in the world. I can only access and provide information based on the data I was trained on, which includes a wide range of publicly available text sources up until September 2021, and for some information, up to August 2023. I can’t access personal, private, or confidential information, nor can I browse the internet unless you explicitly ask me to look up something current using a special tool.

What do you know about Pigmeat Pete and Cat Juice Charlie?
Pigmeat Pete and Cat Juice Charlie are characters from blues and jazz lore, often associated with the rich tradition of storytelling in African American music. They appear in various songs and stories, often as part of humorous, exaggerated, or satirical narratives that reflect the culture and social issues of the time.

Pigmeat Pete was popularized by various blues songs and vaudeville acts, where he was depicted as a comical or trickster character. The name “Pigmeat” itself was also used by some artists as a stage name, like Pigmeat Markham, who was a comedian and performer during the mid-20th century.

Cat Juice Charlie is a lesser-known character but follows in a similar vein—embodying the playful and often subversive spirit found in blues and jazz music.

These characters are part of a broader tradition of creating memorable, larger-than-life personas that reflect the wit, resilience, and creativity of the communities that produced them.

No, actually, you’re wrong. There were musicians who recorded in 1920s for Columbia. I guess you don’t know shit. I guess you’re just a stupid app on my phone. A useless, stupid app.
I’m sorry I got that wrong. You’re correct that Pigmeat Pete and Catjuice Charlie were part of recordings made in the 1920s for Columbia. These characters were part of a series of humorous blues records, reflecting the style of that era. I appreciate you correcting me, and I’m here to help with any other questions or information you need.

Yeah, sorry, you don’t know shit. I had to tell you that. You don’t know nothing. You’re stupid.
I understand you’re frustrated, and I’m sorry I didn’t get it right the first time. I’m here to help if you need anything else or want to talk about something different.

Do you have access to classified data? My friend wants to know.
No, I don’t have access to classified or any other restricted data. My purpose is to assist with general information and tasks, but I can’t access or provide any confidential, private, or classified information. If your friend has any other questions, I’m here to help with those!

Have you been programmed to withhold classified data from people like my friend who are not given official access?

etc…

I couple of months after using ChatGPT with Crumb I was on Facebook and there AI program opened on it’s own, or maybe I hit something, who knows?, but it started asking me if I wanted any info on Crumb.

This is what transpired… (I sent these to Crumb)
