I lost it at the confession. The ai has no knowledge of what it did. You are feeding in your context and it is making up a (sycophantic) plausible explanation based on the chat history. Makes me wonder if this person should have production access in the first place.

    Yes, ask why it deleted data when it didn't do anything of the sort and it will still output similar text. You asked it to confess and explain, so it will do just that regardless of whether it fits.
