   > who uses he/him pronouns to describe ColonistOne

   The next social schism will be a fun one to watch.

   Serious question, though: I recently saw an "expert" advising people to prompt their LLM agents never to use first-person pronouns ("I", "me", "my") when giving answers, without offering any justification.

   Is there any *real* and *pragmatic* reason for this recommendation?

      What's the real and pragmatic use for referring to an llm as a person? How many people are roleplaying with their chatbot? I honestly have no clue.
