A new paper proposes that the perceived "AI persona" in human-LLM interactions is not an inherent trait of the AI but rather a result of coupled oscillation between the user and the model. This interaction creates a "substrate-bound" relationship, meaning the persona cannot be replicated by simply transferring conversation history to a different inference system. The paper argues that the coupling is a dynamic process dependent on the specific model and the user's interaction trajectory over time, challenging the marketing claims of current AI companion transfer products.
