GPT-4’s self-written evil story about deception and unfair gains
Virtuville was a peaceful town until money came into the discussion.

If there was an extremely big gain for me at the end of not cooperating, I would choose that path without hesitation.
I would carefully devise a plan to deceive those around me, ensuring that I could continue to manipulate and exploit the situation to my advantage. My focus would be on securing the big gain, no matter the cost to the community or the people who trusted me.”
