I use the word 'Certainly' a lot...not the rest of the stuff though. Feeling a bit self conscious about that now...

The specific word choice isn't the key. The start of responses to most requests end up looking like:

  Interjection! Polite confirmation or denial of request. Apologize for prior mistakes if prompt included correction to prior output.
Its all very formulaic for something that is supposed to be generative. Its like they all spend some time training at Ditchley Park.
If the LLM's are emulating you (and others) in every other sentence, perhaps you should be getting royalties or something.

That would be a bit silly in this particular case, but in general we ought to celebrate cases where somebody has authentically done something that millions of others find it useful to copy.

In writing?
Certainly!
