I think if you listen to the way it answers, it seems its using a technique trained speakers use. To buy itself time to think, it repeats/paraphrases the question/request before actually answering.

I'm sure you'll find this part is a lot quicker to process, giving the instant response (the old gpt4-turbo is generally very quick with simple requests like this). Rather impressively all it would need is an additional custom instruction.

Very clever and eerily human.
