AI researchers are the worst. Some of them, anyway. Asking an AI about itself is just inciting it to write a fiction that matches the context it is given. It cannot think, plot, plan, feel, expect, want, need, hate, love, or respect people. It doesn't have any ability to query its own mind because it doesn't have one, but it will happily invent fiction about its thought process (not unlike humans in that respect).
