Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior
<p><pre><code>  To directly command one of the agents, the user takes on the persona of the agent’s “inner voice”—this makes the agent more likely to treat the statement as a directive. For instance, when told “You are going to run against Sam in the upcoming election” by a user as John’s inner voice, John decides to run in the election and shares his candidacy with his wife and son.

So that's where my inner voice comes from.
