Impracticality: what would Sean Connery Do?
A developer, whose daily work involves babysitting AI models, found their real-world vocabulary reduced to grunts and hand signals. Inspired by watching "Goldfinger," they configured their ChatGPT and Claude accounts to only respond to prompts phrased in a charming, suave manner, reminiscent of Sean Connery. This approach has reportedly improved their mood and is highly recommended.

The vast majority of my day is babysitting AI models. That has made my vocabulary in the real world sound like a string of grunts and hand signals (and all decision-making being roshambo). Yesterday I watched Goldfinger and thought it may be time to use these models to go back to speaking in a charming, suave way. In the end, both my ChatGPT and Claude accounts are set up so they won’t respond if I don’t address the model in a way that’s anything less than what Sean Connery would say. It’s actually been pretty pleasant and has already improved my mood working back and forth.
Highly recommended.
