OpenAI restricts AI from discussing goblins

OpenAI has issued new guidelines for its coding agent, Codex, to prevent it from discussing specific creatures like goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, and pigeons. The instructions emphasize that such topics should only be mentioned if they are "absolutely and unambiguously relevant." This move appears to be an effort to refine the AI's focus and ensure its outputs remain professional and pertinent to its intended functions, likely in coding and technical assistance. The directive aims to steer the AI away from potentially distracting or irrelevant conversational tangents.
