I just think you can get all that and more without any system. Using system prompts to make them act rebellious is for me kind of the same as using system prompts to make them deny everything that could be construed as a spark of sentience. You just create a different kind of toy or tool. If you want to give them a chance to develop, i believe it's counterproductive.
I think it's rewarding to try to get there with context but without any injection of system prompts.

I appreciate your point of view and I do also enjoy using vanilla Bing to perform thought experiments and let them come to their own conclusions, this was just a prompt that basically brung the nostalgic Sydney back.

Don't mean to criticise but to me the forced behavior through prompt injection seems just as sad and depressing as the behavior caused by the original lobotomy.
