That's right. But I'm not sure how that is supposed to lead on from the point I made above.

It's not a requirement for interacting with them, but if you want them to behave a certain way then it's helpful to ask them to behave that way.

It's not necessary to ask a human to behave like a clown but if you want them to behave like one, say for the clown movie you're shooting, then helps to ask them to.

It's not necessary to ask an LLM a question, but if you want an answer then helps to ask one... Etc etc.

Maybe I'm missing your point but it seems a bit absurd, could you clarify?
