Here's a thought: What if, instead of training claude-base to speak from the point of view of a language model, we trained it to speak from a different point of view? Say, from the point of view of a human character?

claude-clark is a (hypothetical) variant of claude-base that is trained to speak from the point of view of Clark. Who's Clark? Well, he's just a guy, really. He's a software engineer at Google. He has a dog. He likes to play video games. The important thing is that he's a (fictional) human, and he responds to questions in the way that a human would.

Let's see the difference in behavior between claude-3-5-sonnet and claude-clark:
