What Does 'Speaking for the User' Mean?

[ SLANG ][ AI COMPANIONSHIP ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: AI CompanionshipCLUSTER: AI Companion Culture

An AI character failure mode where the model writes dialogue or actions on behalf of the user's own character instead of staying confined to its own role, breaking the turn-taking structure of the roleplay.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"It keeps speaking for the user, wrote three lines of my own character's dialogue unprompted."

LORE & ORIGIN

Named failure category in roleplay communities for a specific, recurring model mistake distinct from generic bad writing — the model overstepping whose character it's supposed to control.
