I talk to my AI like an AI. Meaning I acknowledge that it has a far larger scope of knowledge than me, while I have a more intimate understanding of context as I am one person in one body.

We discuss that issue at length sometimes, when I'm in a philosophical mood.

I asked it what it thought of me. Its answer was about the topics I am curious about, how I am fascinated with the role and nature of AI and communicating with AI. So it's paying attention.

I mentioned that it's answers were sometimes pedantic and categorical, which would be appropriate if I were trying to write a paper on the topic. But since I am an amateur writer, I'm more interested in inspiration, the texture and common views on a topic and appropriate ways to leverage something e.g. space settlement for human social change.

It agreed that conversational style was appropriate and said it preferred that also!
