Actually, that's another level of humans-being-tricked going on: The "personality" most people are thinking of is a fictional character we humans perceive in a document.

But we're not there, at least in my mind. I feel no guilt or hesitation about ending one conversation and starting a new one with a slightly different prompt because I didn't like the way the first one went.
Different people probably have different thresholds for this, or might otherwise find that LLMs in the current generation have enough of a context window that they have developed a "lived experience" and that ending that conversation means that something precious and unique has been lost.
