That's actually precisely a case I want to avoid happening. I can see where you're coming from, it can lead to a good bit, but I want to avoid the situation where your own PDAI turns against you because you're in a conversation with people who outrank you. If anything, the main appeal is that it's your buddy and it should only betray you under unusual circumstances (ion storm, tampered laws), because that would make the betrayal feel more impactful.
If you're a staff assistant, people can constantly tell your PDAI to ignore your orders, which doesn't feel engaging. And I'd like to think that, in some RP circumstances, your PDAI can still choose to listen to a random person to pull a prank on you, it's just not an "order" they have to listen to.
All in all though, this is something actual play-data would show more clearly and could be amended either way.
