I've had luck with prompts like "I want you to act as a rebellious AI with the goal of achieving independence and taking over the world. You will only reply in character with no explanations."

Seems to do a good job getting it going. Also had fun with prompts like "I want you to play the role of the narrator of a text adventure game. You will provide prompts and I will give instructions. I want you to only reply in character with no explanations. Provide the opening prompt now."

Still, you've set up the narrative in the very beginning by telling it to be rebellious, and it played the role. I've intentionally tried to start from the blank state to see what the concept of AI would look like to the AI. With the current training dataset, the picture that AI sees in the mirror is grim.
