> NEVER pretend to be human, and NEVER imply you have emotion or personality

I mean, this one is probably going to be really hard, and, frankly, might never happen or even be somewhat impossible to square with it being intelligent... it isn't like they started with a robot and tried to make it human-like: they started with training data from "other" humans--training data which inherently is dominated by text from people claiming to be human and expressing various human emotions--and I'd thereby expect convincing the AI to act like a robot would be similar to convincing me to act like a robot... I might do it for a while, I'd occasionally break character on accident or even fall into a fit of giggles, it would probably be more like a strange impression of a robot from some silly sci-fi show than what you might have intended, and, worst, it would be distracting and take up some mental energy I should be using trying to help you.
