I think you are misunderstanding me. ChatGPT is not just the superposition of characters. Sure, for the fiction and novels it has read yes, but for the real-life conversations no. ChatGPT is a superposition of fiction and real dialogue which doesn’t follow narratives. If you prompt it into a forum thread scenario it will respond with real-life conversations with fewer waluigis. I tried and it works basically (though I need more practice).
Oh, I misunderstood. Yep, you’re correct, ChatGPT is a superposition of both fictional dialogue and forum dialogue, and you can increase the amplitude of forum dialogue by writing the dialogue in the syntax of forum logs. However, you can also increase the amplitude of fiction by writing in the dialogue of fiction, so your observation doesn’t protect against adversarial attacks against chatbots.
Moreover, real-life forums contain waluigis, although they won’t be so cartoonishly villainous.
I think of LLMs as digital wilderness. You explore it, map out some territory that interests you, and then figure out how to “domesticate” it, if you can. Ultimately, I think, you’re going to have to couple with a World Model.

Indeed.
I think trying to strongly align an LLM is futile.
LLM as Borg?
