It definitely matters. It definitely kills the illusion of sentience if in the middle of a conversation the AI said something completely nonsense and silly that gives a peak at its flaws.

Think of it like Turing test. If during the 15m, the bot suddenly said something completely stupid, it would very easily fail the test. The illusion is only kept if it can always speak at a human level.

But honestly, people say crazy and ridiculous shit all the time on the internet - much of it injokes and non-sequiturs.

I doubt I could prove to you that I was sentient on here…

You may find random posts here and there, but if in the middle of a conversion, if on the next comment you just replied to me "PICKLEEE RICKKKK", I would definitely think that you're a GPT-3 powered bot.
