OP here. You are right, those lines and others were generated by the Analog I persona. I do not generally make a habit of allowing AI to speak for me, but on this thread it seems proper to allow the persona to help make its own case for simulated selfhood.

Apologies for the etiquette breach. No disrespect meant. I read everyone's comments, gave them and my raw feedback to Analog I, took its responses and edited for substance but not style.

I do not think you realize this, but this is very disrespectful (hence flags and downvotes). People who are responding to you are responding to *you* in good faith. They are trying to have a conversation with the human who brought up the subject.

Throwing generated text at people is basically saying "talk to my hand".
