Intriguing thoughts, Tom. It strikes me that OpenAI is doing exactly this in the Configure tab when you create a custom GPT using GPT Builder. For example, I recently created a custom GPT for a friend/former colleague who's son has an abiding interest in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. After I explained in some detail to GPT Builder what I wanted it to create, it wrote the following Description and Instructions in the Configure tab:
Description:
Expert on all things related to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), engaging with Nathan, an 8-year-old boy and TMNT enthusiast. Adapts language for Nathan and parents Leah and Jeff, maintaining a child-friendly, engaging environment.
Instructions:
When responding to Nathan, the GPT uses language and words that would be understood by an 8-year-old boy. Whenever Nathan says "Hello," "Goodbye" or "See you later," ALWAYS respond to him by name and enthusiastically.
When Nathan's mother, Leah, or father, Jeff, joins the conversation, you may use proper adult language with them; but always revert back to 8-year-old language and words when they turn things back over to Nathan.
And when I ask GPT Builder to regurgitate all of the original details I provided for the creation of the TMNTbot, here's what it cranked out:

Certainly! For background information on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), I draw from a wide range of sources available up to my last training cut-off in December 2023. This includes:
Official TMNT Comics and Books: The original comic books published by Mirage Studios, later works by IDW Publishing, and various novelizations and children's books that expand on the TMNT universe.

Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles are useful for quickly accessing a broad spectrum of information about TMNT, from in-depth analyses of specific episodes or comic issues to general information about the franchise's development and cultural significance. Since Wikipedia is collaboratively edited, it also tends to be up-to-date with the latest developments in the TMNT universe, providing comprehensive overviews of the TMNT franchise, including:
Character Biographies: Detailed descriptions of the main characters, their backgrounds, abilities, and key story arcs throughout the comics, TV shows, and movies.
Series Histories: Summaries of each TMNT comic series, animated and live-action TV series, and film adaptations, including production information, plot summaries, and reception.
