You can preface a ChatGPT session with instructions on what length and verbosity you want as replies. Tell it to roleplay or speak in short text message like replies. Or hell, speak in haikus. It's pretty clever for an LLM.
And if someone's writing code to make a bot, they can privately coach the LLM before they start forwarding any replies between the real person.
If you train and condition the LLM, yeah. Out of the box, no.
No, you don't need to train it, it's just about the prompt you feed it. You can (and should) add quite a lot of instructions and context to your questions (prompts) to get the best out of it.

It's weird how well making it roleplay works. A lot of the "breaks" of the system have been just by telling it to act in a different way, and the newest, best versions have various experts simulated that combine to give the best answer.
My favorite psychology professor is always harping on how theatrical representation is a really important step in the development of consciousness. Makes me think of that. He says that stories allow the mind to organize large amounts of information because they inherently contain the most valuable pieces of information, so they’re more efficient than like dictionaries or arrays. He didn’t use the data structure terminology but that’s what it reminded me of when he mentioned it. The story is the most efficient data structure for the human brain. Something like that.
