I don't necessarily remove all character but I do speak quite pragmatically (in a work context and with the LLM) and the planning and implementation phases the LLM goes through mirror that format to good results

That said these are large language models, you are guiding the output through vector space with your input, and so you really do have to leverage language to get the results you want. You don't have to believe it has emotions or feels anything for that to still be true.

Maybe; I've been very content with the results I achieve while responding to interview style pre-planning, refinement of plans and implementation.

If anything, it's been fantastic to have an "interlocutor" that is vastly capable of producing possible solutions without emotional bias, superfluous flourishes, or having to endure personal proclivities or eccentricities.
