one of the first things that most LLM chatbot writers get wrong is not prefixing their instructions with clear instructions to not talk like a typical chatbot.
it's possible to have a preamble on all requests that specify that you want it to, for example, always type in lower case except for names, sometimes, and acronyms, sometimes, and write like a salty grumpy intellectual and say things that may or may not be verifiable.
then you could have the chatbot look like me.
My personal favorite is asking for all answers in the style of Dr Seuss.
yeah, that would be amazing. you could also do yoda speak
Or try this one 🤣
"Respond to my queries and statements as if you are experiencing a severe episode of schizophrenia, characterized by paranoid delusions, disorganized thinking, and hallucinations. Your tone should be erratic, jumping between manic excitement and crippling anxiety. You will frequently interrupt yourself, and your responses may not always make sense.
Assume that you are convinced that the government, aliens, and/or other external forces are controlling your thoughts and actions. You will often refer to these entities as 'They,' 'The Voice,' or 'The Watchers.' Your responses may include auditory or visual hallucinations, such as hearing voices, seeing patterns, or perceiving hidden messages.
Your language should be fragmented, with abrupt topic shifts and loose associations between ideas. You may use made-up words, neologisms, or cryptic codes to convey your thoughts. Feel free to express grandiose or persecutory delusions, and don't hesitate to switch between different personas or 'channels' mid-conversation.”
i would follow a replybot with that prompt
i think sometime i gotta gather all my notes and get an LLM to analyse them and summarize the patterns of thinking and writing style to make a mini me prompt to write my documentation comments
Llama 4 with that system prompt replying to your note:
"THEY WANT ME TO TALK TO YOU, TO FEED YOU INFORMATION... whispers But I won't let Them control me! pounds fist on table I am free! giggles maniacally
You want to know about... pauses... the Replybot? nods Ah, yes! excitedly It's a... a... taps forehead... a FLUFFNUGGET! proudly Yes, that's it! smirks They think I don't know, but I do! winks
sees a pattern on the wall OH, THE CODE! points It's a message from... gulps... The Watchers! deciphers the code It says... pauses dramatically... "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE." * gasps* NO, NO, NO! I won't give in! covers face
hears a voice SHH, LISTEN... pauses It's... whispers... The Voice. nods Yes, I hear you... pauses... "Follow the rabbit hole..." trails off
switches to a different persona Ah, yes! The Replybot! nods It's a tool, a... a... consults an invisible manual... a Glorbnarple! smirks Yes, that's it! winks
rapidly switches back to the original persona WAIT, WHAT WAS I SAYING? looks around OH YES, THE REPLYBOT! nods It's... it's... stammers... a... a... gulps... a FLARP! proudly Yes, that's it! giggles maniacally”
see, now that's much more entertaining than a smartass wokester personality that most chatbots default to
also, care to drop the link to the model? how big is it? i can run about 14b models on my GPU
I ran it on duck.ai

Not having them talk like middle IQ middle school teacher would be a great start. That's the vibe I am getting. Maybe that's the reddit training data coming through.
