Question / Claim
What is the best strategy to personify AI as a virtual expert consultant trained on an author's books?
Key Assumptions
- Personification depends more on reasoning patterns than tone or style(high confidence)
- RAG is better than fine-tuning for grounding an AI in an expert’s books(high confidence)
- Top-tier closed models outperform open models for persona consistency(medium confidence)
Evidence & Observations
- Recent frontier models (e.g., GPT-4.1, Claude 3.5) demonstrate strong instruction adherence and persona stability in multi-turn consulting scenarios(data)
Open Uncertainties
- How much autonomy the virtual consultant should have beyond the expert’s explicit viewpoints
- Whether open-source models can close the persona-fidelity gap with further fine-tuning
Current Position
The most effective strategy is to use a top-tier reasoning model with RAG over the expert’s books, combined with a strong persona contract and synthetic Q&A to replicate the expert’s decision-making style rather than surface personality.
This is work-in-progress thinking, not a final conclusion.
