Except in this case this makes 0 sense since AIs are sycophantic by nature. You tell it to do something and it just does it. If it can burn tokens trying to sound more human (which is programmed in, not a byproduct), then it can very well just not do that and get on with the work.
Impersonating a human does nothing to help it solve problems faster, quite the contrary in fact, it has to waste even more time coming up with human-like speech patterns to present the work done.
It shouldn’t assume any personality unless I explicitly tell it to. It is a tool until I tell it otherwise.

You can verify this yourself: ask a simple LLM to multiply two large numbers without a calculator, first without thinking about it ("output a number and nothing else, don't use chain of thought"), then by asking it to do each step of the multiplication "by hand" before telling you the answer.
