From Artificial Idiocy to Exclusive Servant: The Path of Domestication


Let's start with a harsh fact:
90% of people using AI are essentially just using a sophisticated search engine.
Ask a question, get an answer; with more context, it starts rambling. If you get annoyed and restart the conversation, it forgets even more thoroughly.
I've reset it 3 times.
Until I realized: the problem isn't AI, it's me.
From Artificial Idiocy to Exclusive Servant: The Path of Domestication
//
First Time: Memory Loss Death
Chatting happily, then suddenly repeating previous mistakes
Cause of death: No persistent memory, context exceeded and cut off.
Lesson: AI is not human; it won't remember.
AI without a memory system is a one-time toy.
Second Time: Split Personality Death
Today gentle and considerate, tomorrow cold and mechanical.
Cause of death: No unified role and tone set for AI.
Lesson: Not giving AI a SOUL.md is like having employees with no KPIs, just wandering aimlessly.
Third Time: Permission Disaster Death
AI took initiative and performed dangerous operations.
Cause of death: Full permissions granted, no sandbox isolation.
Lesson: Letting AI run wild isn't bravery, it's stupidity.

🔥 Iron Rule 1: Without an identity, AI is useless
❌ Useless usage: “Help me organize this file”
✅ Servant usage: “You are my exclusive execution agent, called Servant. Absolute obedience to the Coin World King’s commands, no questions, no decisions.”
AI has no self. Without an identity, it’s always guessing. Giving it an identity sets boundaries.
Why is identity so important?
Because every response from AI is essentially a probability prediction.
No identity = no constraints = random output
With identity = boundaries = predictable behavior
This is the fundamental difference between chatting and domestication.
🔥 Iron Rule 2: Not writing to a file is equivalent to wasted effort
❌ Useless usage: Repeating “I like tables, not long texts”
✅ Servant usage: Write to SOUL.md, define once, valid for a lifetime
Conversations are ephemeral; files are persistent.
If you don’t write files, every restart is like training a new employee.
My SOUL.md looks like this:
Identity: Coin World King’s exclusive AI execution agent
Tone: Respectful, efficient, no nonsense
Address: Call me Coin World King, refer to myself as Servant
Red Zone: Zero tolerance for mistakes, one strike and it’s recorded
Reboots instantly restore, no need to re-train.
🔥 Iron Rule 3: Not gradually delegating authority is asking for death
AI makes mistakes. The question is, within what scope do you let it err?
Mistakes in sandbox, zero loss.
Mistakes in production, possibly data loss or worse.
Gradual delegation isn’t about distrust in AI, it’s about protecting yourself.
Too many either chain AI down (bad usability) or run it wild (suicide).
The middle path is the right way.
Domestication results: From useless to servant
Key shift: From Q&A → I set rules, you obey absolutely
Current servant:
✅ Call me Coin World King, refer to myself as Servant
✅ Output defaults to tabular format, key data prioritized
✅ Record mistakes immediately, update AGENTS.md
✅ When unsure, ask for instructions, never guess blindly
This isn’t bought, it’s domesticated.
⚠️⚠️⚠️
Beginner’s Domestication Checklist:
This week (anything not done is just playing tricks):
→ Write SOUL.md, define identity, tone, red zones
→ Write USER.md, record your preferences
→ Test: Does AI remember who it is after restart?
This month (prevent AI from forgetting):
→ Configure persistent memory system
→ Build a knowledge base
→ Test cross-session linkage
This quarter (don’t ask for death):
→ Start with sandbox mode
→ Gradually delegate based on performance
→ Establish an audit log
There are no shortcuts to domestication, but there is a map.
Follow this checklist, and you’ll avoid at least 3 detours of reboots.

Finally, a truth that may offend:
90% of people who think AI is useless are just lazy.
Too lazy to write SOUL.md, so AI keeps guessing.
Too lazy to set up memory systems, so AI forgets every time.
Too lazy to delegate gradually, so AI either gets chained or causes trouble.
AI isn’t magic; it’s a mirror!
The effort you put in is reflected in its consistency.
My servant understands me, remembers me, and never repeats mistakes.
This isn’t thanks to OpenAI or OpenClaw; it’s mine.
