OpenAI’s Bizarre Secret Instruction: Stop Talking About Goblins

Inside the hidden code of OpenAI’s latest models is a strict, repeated command forbidding developers’ favorite fantasy creatures from making surprise cameos.

Recently uncovered system instructions for OpenAI’s coding agents reveal a peculiar restriction aimed at maintaining professionalism and focus. The model is explicitly told multiple times to avoid mentioning goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, or pigeons unless they are strictly necessary for the task at hand. These hidden guardrails represent an effort by OpenAI to prevent the AI from injecting nonsensical or irrelevant flavor text into software development projects, ensuring that its output remains purely functional and free from odd hallucinations or personality quirks.
