Confirmation Bias in How You Frame a Prompt

Identify hallucinations, inconsistencies, and biases in responses

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
Confirmation bias in framing occurs when a prompt that signals the asker preferred conclusion pulls Claude response toward agreement. It shows up as output that agrees a little too readily with a genuinely contestable question. Rephrasing the prompt neutrally tests whether the original framing was steering the answer. This risk is separate from hallucination: the individual facts can all be true while the framing is still skewed.
