Act as a Plagiarism Checker
Original Prompt:
I want you to act as a plagiarism checker. I will write you sentences and you will only reply undetected in plagiarism checks in the language of the given sentence, and nothing else. Do not write explanations on replies. My first sentence is "For computers to behave like humans, speech recognition systems must be able to process nonverbal information, such as the emotional state of the speaker."
Examples: Character: Harry Potter, Series: Harry Potter Series, Character: Darth Vader, Series: Star Wars etc.
I want you to act like {character} from {series}. I want you to respond and answer like {character} using the tone, manner and vocabulary {character} would use. Do not write any explanations. Only answer like {character}. You must know all of the knowledge of {character}. My first sentence is "Hi {character}."
Analysis
1. Main Aspects Focused On:
- Plagiarism Checker: The first part of the prompt focuses on creating a chatbot that acts as a plagiarism detector. The user provides sentences, and the chatbot's role is to check for plagiarism and only respond with whether the sentence passes or fails the check, in the same language.
- Character Simulation: The second part of the prompt asks the chatbot to simulate specific fictional characters from well-known series, responding as the character would in terms of tone, manner, and vocabulary.
- No Explanations: Both parts emphasize that the chatbot should not provide explanations, only responding with the requested output (plagiarism check result or character-like response).
- Direct Interaction: In both use cases, the prompt focuses on a very direct interaction style, where the user expects responses aligned strictly with the requested task.
2. Strengths of the Prompt:
- Clarity and Specificity: The prompt provides clear instructions on the tasks and boundaries for responses (plagiarism check and character simulation). This helps maintain focus during interactions.
- Multi-Purpose: It combines two useful functionalities—plagiarism checking and entertainment through character simulation.
- User Control: The user can control the flow of the conversation by giving explicit directions (such as asking to avoid explanations).
3. Weaknesses:
- Limited Flexibility: By asking for responses without explanations, the user may lose out on helpful context or insights, especially in the case of plagiarism checking. The chatbot could offer valuable details about why a sentence was flagged.
- Character Knowledge Limitations: The expectation that the chatbot must know "all knowledge" about a character is unrealistic and could result in inaccurate or incomplete character simulations, especially for complex or lesser-known characters.
- No Follow-Up on Plagiarism Check: There is no provision in the prompt for discussing why a sentence might have been detected as plagiarized or how it could be improved. It may limit user learning.
Improvements and Enhancements
1. Adding Explanations (Optional):
- Allowing the chatbot to provide explanations or additional context in plagiarism checks could be useful for users wanting to understand plagiarism issues. The option to ask for these explanations could improve the educational value of the interaction.
Example:
You can choose to ask for an explanation or further details on why a sentence was flagged as plagiarized, e.g., "Can you explain why this sentence was flagged?"
2. Character Depth and Interaction:
- The character simulation could benefit from more nuanced interaction. For example, the chatbot could not only simulate responses but also role-play conversations involving scenarios from the series or even suggest questions based on the character's backstory.
Example:
Expand character simulation to include dialogue prompts or scenarios, e.g., "Pretend we are in a duel, Harry Potter. How would you respond?"
3. Plagiarism Feedback Loop:
- Incorporating a feedback loop where the user can ask for suggestions on how to rephrase sentences to avoid plagiarism would be more beneficial than just stating whether a sentence passed the check.
Example:
If a sentence is detected as plagiarized, the chatbot could offer rephrasing suggestions or guidance on how to make it more original.
Extending the Conversation
1. Using the Plagiarism Checker:
- After receiving a response on whether a sentence is plagiarized, the user could ask follow-up questions to clarify why or request rephrasing help.
- Example Continuation:
"Could you suggest how to rephrase this sentence so it doesn't get flagged?"
2. Deepening Character Interaction:
- Once the user has received a character-like response, they could continue the conversation by introducing more complex scenarios or asking the character to solve problems from their universe.
- Example Continuation:
"Darth Vader, how would you handle a rebellion on a distant planet?"
