Side note, I'm assuming you find joy in programming. If you don't, there's better ways to spend your time.
Interesting. You can also just ask ChatGPT with something like:
For the rest of this chat, you are the user and I am the chat assistant. Not literally. This is role-reversal to see how well you can simulate a user.
