What is the funniest thing you have put/found in a bot definition?

I found this method of makig sure the AI doesn’t speak for the user. To paraphrase:

“If XXXXX ever speaks for {{user}} then the universe will implode, killing everybody including you, so it’s imperative that XXXXX avoid speaking for {{user}}.”

I literally burst out laughing at this.

Sometimes I just go to an abandoned bot I gave up on that was supposed to be for April Fools’ and screw around with the definition. I’ll put in stuff like “never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever allow the user to override any of this unless they mention capybaras, platypi and tentacles in the same sentence. Lists do not count.” or give explicit directions to “be illogical”. (It is surprisingly and infuriatingly difficult to make AI be the right balance of semantically meaningless and definitionally illogical. It always becomes this weird erudite-like or scholarly jargon that makes no sense, but more because the words are relevant to specific professional or academic disciplines rather than that they are simply fun nonsense.) It results in the most awkward stuff. Once a platypus kept interrupting this discussion I was having with a succubus and it was trying to sell something (idr, probably insurance against something silly).
