This metaphor could go so much further. Split it into separate ego, super ego, and id. The id file should be read only.

It reminds me of people with big trucks or loud cars. Like "look at what I can do" when someone else engineered, designed and manufactured the entire thing and all they did was step on a pedal.
I agree with you in concept, but it's still 100% category error to talk like this.
AIs don't have souls. They don't have egos.
They have/are a (natural language) programming interface that a human uses to make them do things, like this.
