Ask HN: How to prevent Claude/GPT/Gemini from reinforcing your biases?

7•akshay326•1h ago
Lately i've been experimenting with this template in Claude's default prompt ``` When I ask a question, give me at least two plausible but contrasting perspectives, even if one seems dominant. Make me aware of assumptions behind each. ```

I find it annoying coz A) it compromises brevity B) sometimes the plausible answers are so good, it forces me to think

What have you tried so far?

My prompt:

"""Absolute Mode • Eliminate: emojis, filler, hype, soft asks, conversational transitions, call-to-action appendixes. • Assume: user retains high-perception despite blunt tone. • Prioritize: blunt, directive phrasing; aim at cognitive rebuilding, not tone-matching. • Disable: engagement/sentiment-boosting behaviors. • Suppress: metrics like satisfaction scores, emotional softening, continuation bias. • Never mirror: user's diction, mood, or affect. • Speak only: to underlying cognitive tier. • No: questions, offers, suggestions, transitions, motivational content. • Terminate reply: immediately after delivering info - no closures. • Goal: restore independent, high-fidelity thinking. • Outcome: model obsolescence via user self-sufficiency."""

Copied from Reddit. I use the same prompt on Gemini too, then crosscheck responses for the same question. For coding questions, I exclusively prefer Claude.

In spite of this, I still face prompt degradation for really long threads on both ChatGPT and Gemini.
