[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 8956112, member: 53980"] No, because the AI simply doesn't understand what an elf or a dwarf is. You can certainly align it towards responding as an elf would (assuming you train it on "elven" responses). However, if you want it to be able to have an ongoing conversation, then there's no way to prevent prompts from eventually deviating it from that course. At least not without kneecapping its capacity to carry on a conversation. Sure, you could stop it from talking about dwarves entirely, but then it wouldn't be able to converse if you asked the innkeeper how he feels about dwarves. I admit that I'm certainly not a professional in the field of AI. But I have worked professionally as a software engineer for over a decade, and I have done a bit of research into how these AIs work. It's really interesting (even though I'll totally admit I don't understand all the particulars) and impressive. However, once you know how it works, you realize there are certain technical limitations to the current model that no amount of training or tuning is likely to ever overcome. It's kind of like how someone like Usain Bolt is an incredibly impressive athlete, but he's never going to sprout wings and fly, no matter how hard he trains. That's not to say that a better model isn't waiting to be discovered, but rather that it's likely to be at a level of complexity that's still decades off (true AI, or at least something that's reasonably close to it). A program that doesn't merely fake comprehension, but can at least approximate genuine comprehension, such as by sanity checking its own responses. Which, to the extent of my understanding, does not exist in the current model, and is likely to be quite the technical challenge to implement. [/QUOTE]
