The data makes a difference, but there is also prompt engineering. You can prime the same model with some pretext to get different "personalities" and Sydney could have a very different tone if given a different pretext

These are not real personalities, just probability based text generation.

> These are not real personalities

My problem with this statement is the word “real”, by which I assume you mean human. But do we know what human personalities are? How they work and how they develop?

[verdverm]

I mean "real" in the sense they do not have a foundation. Animals have personalities, you cannot prompt them to change them at will.

These "ai" systems do not demonstrate many of the metrics by which we measure intelligence, emotions, and behaviors in living creatures. They have real problems with consistency and hallucinations, but this is expected if you understand the algos, data, and training.
