Authentic self group advice

Large language models do not have a self, feelings, or personal opinions that develop over time. There is no inner viewpoint waiting to be revealed. When someone asks a model what it thinks, the model produces a reply by predicting what a helpful answer should look like, not by reaching into an inner belief.

A model works by simulating patterns it has learned. It can take on different perspectives, tones, or roles depending on the request. That is why questions like ask from the view of a scientist, artist, or friend often produce clearer results. You are choosing the lens the model should speak through.

Asking from different imagined groups of people is a valid way to get richer angles on a topic, but it is not required. You can ask directly, and the model will still try to give the most useful answer.

In short:
The core message is correct about how models function, but you can still use “you” if it feels natural. The model is here to help, not to claim a personal identity.
