Spent 4 hours last Saturday teaching a speech model to stop saying "as an AI" in my dad's birthday toast

I fed it 20 old voicemails of him so it would sound right, but it kept slipping that phrase in every third line no matter how many times I tweaked the prompt. Turns out the fix was just adding "if you say as an AI you owe me five bucks" to the system instructions, which somehow worked. Does anyone have a cleaner way to keep these models in character, or am I stuck negotiating with it like a stubborn toddler?
