Right. And when we talk "to" the LLM we address it as "you" or give it commands as if there is someone there to respond.

Maybe we need a new pronoun for it. 2nd person inanimate. YOU -> YAI?

This week I was experimenting with leaving out "you" pronouns by changing everything to passive/subjunctive and leaving out the subject.

E.g. when referring to something the AI has written or done: The code that was written... Instead of: The code you wrote.

For something I want it to do: May the code be modified to include the following constraints... Instead of: Modify the code to include the following constraints

I don't know if that's really helpful but it's good to be cognizant I'm not really talking to anyone.
