I'd drop all "you" and also the "AI assistant" parts completely. It's just operating off a corpus after all, that kind of prompting should be completely irrelevant.

Also could replace "invisible" with wrap section with "---IGNORE---" or with "```IGNORE" markdown tags and then filter it out after

I /feel/ similarly intuition-wise. But models are crazy and what they respond to is often unpredictable. There are no lungs in an AI model but nonetheless 'take a deep breath' as a prompt has shown[0] improvement on math scores lol

Personally I strongly disapprove of the first/second person pronouns and allowing them [encouraging, even] to output 'we' when talking about humans.
