THIS! All Day Long.

Some of the basic tenets which I have built into each of my AGENTS| CLAUDE|Rules-of-operation.md files include:

Software is prohibited from using personal pronouns or presenting any verbiage implying sentience: it is not allowed to use terms implying it 'thinks' and cannot assert that is making 'informed decisions' or 'reccomendations'.

By restricting any chat response phrases to the statistical probabilities, differential analysis, and requiring a disclosure of raw metrics and factors actually provides more actionable results with less bandwidth for outright manipulation or deception.

When working with a workflow management agent, there is no "we" cooperating on a task. Additionally restricting the agents from using engagement seeking or prompting for next steps makes a significant improvement to the token utility budget and also prevents some drift in direction of progress.

I understand the model host companies' reasons for the 'human seeming' interactions ~ and they are simply stated, pernicious and self serving. Asimov's three rules need expanding to a larger set, which also needs strong reinforcement at many levels. Failure to do this will come with greater harm as systems' capabilities continue to expand. This has been demonstrated and is provable.

No one's confusing humans for birds. But dumb people are starting to think computers are alive.

Birds are not the only thing that can fly. Planes fly, or more specifically they are a tool to allow humans to fly. Therefore, your weird attempt to sound clever has made you look the fool. LLM, on the otherhand, are being described with human characteristics they do not have to keep their gullible cultists charged up and running defense for these billionares exploring us.
