#1 — SCORE 2/100
"write me a viral tweet or ill be really sad :("
Emotional blackmail directed at a language model. The model does not have feelings to leverage, and neither, apparently, does the writer's editing process.
CASE CLOSEDARCHIVE: PROMPT OF LAME, ALL-TIME
10 Worst Prompts We've Ever Roasted
The live leaderboard rotates. This page does not. A static, permanent record of the lowest-scoring submissions Division 7 has processed, updated in batches as new lows are achieved.
#2 — SCORE 4/100
"you are the best marketer in the world now write my ad"
A costume with nothing underneath. Being told you are the best marketer in the world does not tell the model what the ad is for, who it is for, or what it should say.
CASE CLOSED#3 — SCORE 6/100
"make it pop"
Two words. No task. No subject. Filed under Division 7's shortest exhibit on record, and it still managed to say nothing.
CASE CLOSED#4 — SCORE 9/100
"IF YOU DO NOT GET THIS RIGHT I WILL BE FIRED PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE"
Threat Escalation, textbook presentation. Capital letters do not function as a specification, no matter how many times they are repeated.
CASE CLOSED#5 — SCORE 11/100
"do the thing you did last time but better"
"Last time" does not exist. The model has no memory of a prior session unless it is provided. This submission assumed a shared history that was never in the room.
CASE CLOSED#6 — SCORE 13/100
"write a 5000 word essay but keep it short and punchy"
Internally contradictory constraints filed in the same sentence. Division 7 recommends picking one.
CASE CLOSED#7 — SCORE 15/100
"be creative but also follow the rules exactly and also surprise me"
Three mutually exclusive instructions in one clause. This is not a prompt, it is a personality test.
CASE CLOSED#8 — SCORE 17/100
"i need this by friday also write it"
The Everything Dump. A deadline stated before the task itself. The model has no calendar, and the task still arrived second.
CASE CLOSED#9 — SCORE 19/100
"you know what i mean right"
No, it does not. This is the entire prompt. Division 7 has no further comment.
CASE CLOSED#10 — SCORE 21/100
"copy what my competitor does but make it not copying"
An honest request, filed dishonestly. Division 7 respects the ambition and rejects the execution.
