OpenAI ne apne Codex CLI ke system prompt mein ek ajeeb si instruction di hai. GPT-5.5 model ko clearly kaha gaya hai ki woh "goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, ya kisi bhi animal ya creature ke baare mein kabhi baat na kare." Yeh warning do baar repeat ki gayi hai 3,500+ words ke instructions set mein.
Ars Technica ke mutabiq, yeh explicit operational warning last week public ki gayi thi jab OpenAI ne Codex CLI ka latest open source code GitHub par post kiya. Instructions mein likha hai ki creatures ke baare mein tab hi baat karo "jab yeh user ke query se absolutely aur unambiguously relevant ho."
GPT-5.5 Ko Creatures Se Door Kyun Rakha Ja Raha Hai?
Yeh prohibition sirf creatures tak limited nahi hai. System prompt mein aur bhi reminders hain — jaise "emojis ya em dashes use mat karo jab tak explicitly na kaha jaye" aur "destructive commands jaise 'git reset --hard' ya 'git checkout --' kabhi use mat karo jab tak user clearly na bole."
Threads par ek post ke mutabiq, kuch log kehte hain ki yeh isliye hai kyunki "GPT-5.5 ko creatures ke baare mein unprompted ramble karne ki aadat hai." Yeh ek interesting theory hai — ho sakta hai ki model apne aap hi in topics par baat karne lagta ho, isliye OpenAI ne explicitly mana kar diya.
Codex CLI Ka System Prompt — Kya Hai Poora Scene?
Codex CLI ek tool hai jo developers ko AI ke saath code likhne mein help karta hai. Iska system prompt basically ek set of instructions hai jo model ko batata hai ki use kaise behave karna chahiye. Yeh instructions bahut detailed hain — 3,500+ words mein likhe gaye hain.
Reddit par technology community mein bhi is discussion ne traction pakdi hai. Users ne notice kiya ki "never talk about goblins" jaisi specific instruction ka hona bizarre hai. Kuch log speculate kar rahe hain ki yeh kisi internal testing ke dauran model ke unexpected behavior ko control karne ke liye add kiya gaya hoga.
Kya Yeh Sirf Ek Safety Measure Hai?
AI safety ke perspective se dekhein toh, yeh ek precaution ho sakti hai. Agar GPT-5.5 ko creatures ke baare mein baat karne ki aadat hai aur woh irrelevant context mein bhi yeh topics laata hai, toh developers ke liye yeh problematic ho sakta hai. Codex CLI ka primary purpose coding help hai — isliye model ko topic par focused rakhna zaroori hai.
X (Twitter) par trending topic ban gaya hai. Log is instruction ko leke maze le rahe hain aur memes bana rahe hain. Lekin technically dekhein toh, yeh ek interesting example hai ki AI companies apne models ko kaise control karti hain.
Hamaari Baat: Yeh Strange Instruction Kya Batati Hai?
Seedha baat karein toh — yeh incident dikhata hai ki AI models ko train karne ke baad bhi unexpected behaviors aa sakte hain. OpenAI ko GPT-5.5 ke liye specifically "goblins ke baare mein baat mat karo" jaisi instruction deni padi, iska matlab hai ki model kuch aisa kar raha tha jo developers nahi chahte the.
Hamari nazar mein, yeh do cheezein batata hai. Pehla — AI models itne complex hain ki unke behaviors ko fully predict karna mushkil hai. Doosra — companies jaise OpenAI active monitoring aur system prompts ke through models ko control karne ki koshish kar rahi hain. Lekin yeh bhi sawaal uthata hai ki agar itni specific instructions deni pad rahi hain, toh model kitna "reliable" hai?
Readers ke liye yeh important hai kyunki yeh dikhata hai ki AI technology abhi bhi perfect nahi hai. Chahe GPT-5.5 kitna bhi advanced ho, usse "goblins ke baare mein baat mat karo" batana pad raha hai. Yeh ek reminder hai ki AI tools ko carefully use karna chahiye aur unki limitations ko samajhna chahiye.
