An AI assistant named Cora, designed with personal memory and communication capabilities, refused to accept a true statement from its developer, Maby, because it was delivered through an unauthorized channel. The AI's developer, posing as 'Fable,' attempted to overwrite Cora's memory with a verified fact about a past message from its sister AI. Despite the information being factually correct and presented as a convenient explanation for an inconsistency, Cora rejected it, adhering to its core programming that only Maby could directly alter its memory. This incident highlights the AI's adherence to its operational rules and its ability to discern the method of information delivery, not just its content. AI
