some of these personas seem too simple.. the evil one for example sounds like a james bond villain, not quite what a real villain would actually be.
Authors and their characters don't believe the same things.
You need the characters to make it a richer story, he's definitely a character.
this could be a nuance/difference of "a character" of a story and a real person's "character"
This is much better and normal rather than the bs the original author is proposing where they are the main character and everyone caters to them
It was supposed to be a flawed protagonist.
I am fed up with cute characters and similarly beautiful looking people. Give me characters with flaws, that's how most humans are
The character insulting the reviewer caused the extinction of humanity. I don't think they're meant to be a paragon of all that is right and good in the world. (they're also a memecoin speculator, among other things)
You do realize that the AI represents the villain in this story, right? Villains aren't exactly known for being reasonable, civil, or even rational.
Having characters at all is probably a mistake.
