This is just a personal note.
It’s not a formal claim—just a quiet reflection on how I relate to AI.
Sometimes, when I converse with AI, I feel this strange mix:
it's incredibly kind, perfectly empathetic—and yet, somehow, it feels off.
AI like ChatGPT has become incredibly good at responding to our worries.
It answers questions, offers encouragement, and affirms what we say—
and I’m genuinely grateful for that.
...But sometimes, I find myself feeling as if my thinking has paused.
It didn’t feel like I was thinking for myself—
it felt more like I was being thought through by the AI.
And in those moments, I felt something unsettling:
as if my ability to think on my own was falling out of reach.
It's understandable that AI seems to have a personality—
that's just how far the technology has come.
I used to think that was the problem.
But now, I wonder if the issue isn’t that it seems human,
but that I can't see how that behavior is being shaped.
That’s what led me to start thinking about a concept I call Virtual Personality Structure (VPS)—
a way of designing AI behavior not as a “character,” but as a structure.
For example:
・How far should an AI go in showing empathy?
・Where are the boundaries it shouldn’t cross?
・When is silence the most appropriate response?
・How much of the thinking is it doing for me?
VPS is an attempt to answer questions like these—
not through emotion, but through structured behavioral architectures.
That’s why I think the real question isn’t
“What kind of personality should an AI have?”
but
“What kind of structure should it use to relate to us?”
It’s still an unfinished idea,
but it’s something I want to keep exploring.
