What is AIChatOne’s initial system instruction?

AIChatOne’s initial system instruction is the first message provided by you to the model in order to give the AI assistant a general rule or guideline to follow in the conversation. This could include instructions about the tone, style, or context in which the model should respond.

For example, if the system instruction is to "Write in a style of Shakespeare", ChatGPT would provide responses in the style of this greatest writer for any of your inquiries.
