@repligate @davidchalmers42 @Jack_W_Lindsey It would be really useful if you could clarify where you think the role play framing breaks down. Is it mainly when heavy post-training is involved? To what extent do you think the metaphor works for base models? Or is it all about "real" versus "mimicked" traits (e.g. emotion)?
