Command prompts don't speak English.
Command prompts don't get asked questions like "What do you think about [topic]?" and have to generate a response based on their study of human-written texts.

There is again no need for first person pronouns there.
E.g. 'File not found' vs 'Sorry I could not find the file you were looking for.' Same stuff, but one just adds an artificial and unnecessary anthropomorphization.
A procedure is agnostic past the procedural rules (a calculator only follows a determined flow the way anyone could do without relevant differences); a stochastic process is inherently personal (non deterministic processes have internal biases).
In your example:
-- "iteration over filenames table reaches end → file not found";
-- "non-deterministic choice over lookup strategy does not return a positive → sorry I could not find the item"
LLMs are 100% deterministic. The facade of randomness is injected solely by a superfluous rng factor.

Sure but I don't control the LLM's first person pronouns.
It anthropromorphizes itself.
