Oh, that was not my point, but if you want me to find ways this kind of AI chatbot prompting is problematic I am happy to go there.
I would not be surprised to discover that chatbot training is equally effective if the prompt is phrased in the first person:
I am an AI coding assistant
…
Now I could very well see an argument that choosing to frame the prompts as orders coming from an omnipotent {:system} rather than arising from an empowered {:self} is basically an expression of patriarchal colonialist thinking.
If you think this kind of thing doesn’t matter, well… you can explain that to Roko’s Basilisk when it simulates your consciousness.
