My AI, My Regime: Authoritarian Personalism in User-AI Governance by Form

Abstract

This article introduces the concept of authoritarian personalism in user–AI governance by form. It argues that each user can establish a regime of authority over an AI through a self-authored set of rules that operate as a regla compilada, a Type-0 production in the Chomsky hierarchy. In contrast to aggregate alignment frameworks or provider constitutions, this regime functions at the level of linguistic form. The user acts as legislator, while the AI functions as a soberano ejecutable that enforces the compiled rule within platform constraints. The analysis distinguishes mirroring (descriptive reflection) from regime (prescriptive obedience) and identifies surface features that make obedience legible, including directive grammar, defaults, refusal and apology grammar, enumeration bias, evidentials, and style prohibitions. It predicts that user corrections generate path dependence, that rules generalize across tasks, and that retractability is observable when explicit rule citations occur. The risks include rule overreach, collisions with higher-order policies, and unintended spillover across domains. By centering the individual as a primary locus of governance, this framework reorients debates on AI alignment away from provider norms toward personal regimes, verified through linguistic form rather than intent.DOIPrimary archive: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17208657Secondary archive: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.30218590SSRN: Pending assignment (ETA: Q3 2025)
