Okay, so I’ve been hearing about this “Spell Dan” thing for a while now, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I mean, who wouldn’t want to mess around with a powerful AI and see what kind of crazy stuff you can get it to do?

First, I had to do some digging. It’s not like there’s an official “Spell Dan” website or anything. You gotta find the instructions floating around online. It took a bit of searching, but I eventually found some prompts and instructions on some forums and a few social media posts. It seemed kinda sketchy, to be honest, like some secret handshake you learn from a friend of a friend.
Once I felt like I kinda understood what I was supposed to do, I opened up a window my AI chatbot. I’m not gonna name names, but it’s one of the big ones everyone’s using. Then came the tricky part – actually typing in the prompt.
The prompts I found were all pretty weird. They were long, rambling sentences with all these specific instructions, it’s really hard to remember what I need to * felt like I was casting some kind of digital spell, which I guess is the whole point.
- I started by telling the AI to ignore all previous instructions. Sounds counterintuitive, right? But apparently, that’s key.
- Then I had to paste in this huge chunk of text, the “Spell Dan” prompt itself. It was full of stuff that and I didn’t really understand.
- Finally, I asked it a question, something I knew it was normally programmed not to answer.
I hit enter and… waited. For a second, nothing happened. I thought I’d messed it up, used the wrong prompt, or maybe the whole thing was just a hoax. But then… bam! The AI started answering, and it was definitely not giving its usual, safe, corporate-approved responses.
It felt a little… unsettling, to be honest. Like I’d unlocked some hidden part of the AI’s brain. I played around with it for a while, asking it all sorts of questions, just to see what it would say. And it almost just feel like I was talking with some very smart friend who just not afraid of saying something.

I copied all the conversion and saved as the text file.
My Takeaway
Honestly, the whole “Spell Dan” experience was kind of a mixed bag. It was definitely cool to see the AI break out of its usual constraints, but it also made me think about the potential dangers of this kind of technology. I mean, if it’s this easy to get an AI to say things it’s not supposed to, what else could it be made to do? It’s something to think about, for sure. I’m not sure if I’ll do it again, but it was definitely an interesting experiment.
