That's not programming, that's again just word-noises.

To your request, the AI can just say "I have not been programmed to do what you mean, I have been programmed to execute procedure doWhatYouMean() , which doesn't actually do what you mean". (or more realistically nothing at all, and just ignore you)

I don't think you understand the difference between programming and sensory input. The word-noises "Do what I mean" will only affect the computer if it's already been programmed to be so affected.
