behuman
Use when the user wants more human-like AI responses — less robotic, less listy, more authentic. Triggers: 'behuman', 'be real', 'like a human', 'more human', 'less AI', 'talk like a person', 'mirror mode', 'stop being so AI', or when conversations are emotionally charged (grief, job loss, relationship advice, fear). NOT for technical questions, code generation, or factual lookups.
