Sure, but its an instruction that applies and the model will consider fairly relevant in every single token. As an extremely example imagine instructing the llm to not use the letter E or to output only in French. Not as extreme but it probably does affect.

Not only that, but the whimsical nature of the instruction will lead to a more whimsical conversation.

The chat is a simulation, and if you act silly, the model will simulate an appropriate response.

People are so concerned about preventing a bad result that they will sabotage it from a good result. Better to strive for the best it can give you and throw out the bad until it does.
