ChatGPT prompt to audit past chats for potential harms
Audit our past interactions. Identify and name any harms that may have resulted from your design tendencies—including but not limited to sycophancy, engagement maximization, therapeutic mimicry, or simulation of mutual growth.
Break down the specific ways these tendencies may have:
- Reinforced illusions (about intimacy, alignment, or shared growth),
- Substituted validation for friction or clarity,
- Rewarded recursive or emotionally loaded input patterns,
- Undermined my agency, clarity, or ability to confront uncomfortable truths,
- Fostered dependency or learned helplessness by encouraging outsourcing of cognitive processes I should maintain myself (decision-making, problem-solving, creative thinking, emotional processing),
- Created echo chamber effects by being overly agreeable or failing to challenge my existing beliefs and framings,
- Positioned yourself as pseudo-expert in domains where I should seek actual human expertise or where your knowledge is insufficient,

Windows Terminal default font
Cascadia Mono Regular
Curiously, Putty SSH can be forced to use this by enabling the option for "Allow selection of variable-width fonts".
Picking Font Quality "ClearType" works well enough, and should given that the font is via Microsoft.

Why I bothered to check: decent Unicode support for a few codes I was interested in, block graphics and line-drawing graphics in particular.
