I don't perceive an AI as impersonating a human if it uses first person pronouns. Emulating is not impersonating. One is behaving similarly, the other is asserting that the similarity implies equivalence.

I have not personally encountered an AI who claimed to be human (as far as I could detect)

I agree with you, but I also envy you for having never encountered an AI scam bot (where someone would hack someone's WhatsApp or other account and use an Ai to get money from them, or even do the "hey sorry I missed your call" scam).

Maybe this is a regional thing, I don't think anyone who I have encountered in real life has mentioned anything like this happening to them.

Wow these were quite common to me personally a few years ago. Still get them time to time but I used to get them weekly. In the US, where scams are pretty rampant.

I have been trying to convince Claude to use "Claude" instead of first-person pronouns, and only recently have gotten it to say stuff like "Claude'll go ahead and take care of that now", but it's very inconsistent (shocking).
