I wonder if this is human written or asked to earlier versions of GPT? Also, why is it spoken to as if it's a being with genuine understanding?

Because it is incapable of thought and it is not a being with genuine understanding, so using language that more closely resembles its training corpus — text written between humans — is the most effective way of having it follow the instructions.
