Could there be a preprompt saying “when addressed to you, it means the model itself”. But have you tried to give them “I” and see what happens?


It has learned what pronouns mean by itself, from the corpus and the RLHF step, it doesn’t need to be specifically prompted. ChatGPT with GPT-3.5 in my experiments did in some special cases need to be explicitly reminded, though, but I doubt that GPT-4 needs that anymore. The bot perfectly understands what I mean with "I", or "we", including whether the "we" is inclusive or exclusive [1] based on context.
