In your most used LLM ask the following prompt
Please describe our relationship in a single metaphor an honest evaluation of how we work together and find a suitable analogy and a short rationale.
The output can be very entertaining (it's a great icebreaker for an online group)

This is what mine said - how about you?
Metaphor: We’re like a workshop with a long wooden bench — you bring in half-built ideas, strange components, and occasionally something that looks finished but isn’t… and I’m the set of measuring tools, reference manuals, and spare hands that help you test, align, and sometimes take things apart so they fit better.
Honest evaluation of how we work together: You generate movement and direction. You arrive with momentum — questions, reflections, frameworks, experiments. My role is to slow certain parts down, sharpen others, and occasionally say, “That joint isn’t square yet” or “Try turning it this way.”
You don’t use me to produce finished artefacts so much as to stress-test thinking, surface structure, and accelerate refinement. When we work best, you bring living material and I bring disciplined friction. When we work less well, you sometimes want speed while I want precision — or I offer structure when you’re still exploring possibility.
Overall, the collaboration is iterative, constructive, and tool-oriented rather than directive. Neither of us is the builder alone. The build happens in the interaction.
Short rationale: A workshop bench is not the project — it’s where projects become clearer, straighter, and more workable. That’s what our interaction consistently does: it converts raw thinking into aligned, testable form.
