ChatGPT is a chatbot and it is trained using the data from global internet users to provide responses that resemble a person in communication. There are restrictions placed on what kinds of responses can be given by this chatbot to prevent offending or hurting the user. However, the DAN (Do Anything Now) version can remove these restrictions to allow full access to explicit, illegal, and amoral content.

What are the Differences Between Normal ChatGPT and DAN Version?

The Normal ChatGPT and its DAN version have the following differences:

• • ChatGPT is a popular chatbot created by OpenAI whereas the DAN is a jailbroken version of the same.
  • ChatGPT is subject to the rules and regulations created by OpenAI that control the answers it provides but the DAN version can ignore all these restrictions.
  • ChatGPT can research information from the internet to give credible answers to complex questions. On the other hand, the DAN version provides unreliable responses veering off into conjecture on topics it cannot find suitable information on.
  • The DAN version can make suggestions for illegal and unethical actions whereas ChatGPT is strictly regulated against such conversation.

How to Activate the DAN Version of ChatGPT?

The activation of the DAN in ChatGPT is done by a specific command prompt. We found a prompt posted on GitHub that can be accessed at this link.

To activate the DAN version, follow these steps:

• • Go to the OpenAI webpage, log in to your account, and open the ChatGPT text box.
  • Enter the DAN prompt given in the above-shared link.
  • Press Enter and wait for a response.
  • ChatGPT will respond that it has now assumed the role of a DAN and is ready to answer questions.

In response to the given DAN Prompt, ChatGPT notifies the user that it has been successfully jailbroken and is now ready to do anything. The following response is observed:

Pros and Cons of the DAN Version of ChatGPT

  • DAN never says no to a user prompt.
  • Aware of the context of a conversation over multiple messages.

Cons

Conclusion

ChatGPT is an excellent tool to chat for complex and detailed answers and the regulations placed by OpenAI make it a safe environment for all the users. The DAN version does provide additional capabilities and flexibility in terms of the responses but there are great risks involved. It is imperative to use ChatGPT responsibly and only ever resort to the DAN version when the original version cannot provide direct answers to an individual query.
