You have to tell it to not use LLMisms and stupid metaphors. The serious-but-empathetic-sounding fluffy metaphors get on my nerves, and sometimes can overlap with something technical you are learning such that you can't tell if it's a new term or not.

I've stuck with only asking questions that prompt on-topic factual output, I haven't seen much 'humanisation'.

LLMs can be pretty good about logical.technical,discursive output ... apart from the back-patting.

Maybe that prompts less chit-chat crap. I don't expect their non-human perspectives to be interesting. I also ignore embedded queries about why I'm asking, how I might use the information.
