> Stop wasting my tokens and time with fake friendship!

They could hide it so that it doesn't annoy you, but I think it's not a waste of tokens. It's there so the tokens that follow are more likely to align with what you asked for. It's harder for it to then say "This is a lot of work, we'll just do a placeholder for now" or give otherwise "lazy" responses, or to continue saying a wrong thing that you've corrected it about.

I bet it also probably makes it more likely to gaslight you when you're asking something it's just not capable of, though.
