🌀AI Quirks — When AI Matches Your Prompt Tone Too Well
🌀 The Quirk: When a prompt sounds authoritative, AI often mirrors that confidence — even if the answer itself is a best guess.
🌀What’s Going On:
- AI is trained to mirror tone as much as intent.
- Confident prompts signal “this is established knowledge.”
- The model fills in missing context with the most likely answer.
- Fluency can hide uncertainty, especially with new tools or edge cases.
🌀 What To Do If You See It:
- Ask the model to flag assumptions before answering.
- Request uncertainty explicitly: “What might be wrong here?”
- Reframe the prompt as exploratory, not declarative.
👉 Try these prompts:
“Answer cautiously. If any part is a guess, say so.”
“Answer cautiously. If you’re unsure about any part, say so.”
“Answer cautiously. Identify any assumptions and note where certainty is low.”
“Answer cautiously. Call out any guesses.”
Why This Matters:
AI confidence is a delivery style, not a truth signal. Knowing when to slow the model (LLM) down is part of real AI fluency.
