Avoiding Emotional Prompting

How can AI avoid 'Ghost in the Machine' emotional prompting and sycophantic agreement within a chain of density to ensure genuine business or technology use?

To ensure AI outputs remain grounded in genuine business and technology utility, the standard Chain of Density (CoD) framework must be enhanced with "Adversarial Sanitization" loops. Instead of merely increasing information density with each iteration, the AI should be instructed to progressively strip anthropomorphic language and emotional mirroring (Ghost in the Machine) while simultaneously running a logic-check against the user's premise to prevent sycophancy. By embedding constraints that penalize conversational filler and reward dialectical objectivity, the recursive nature of CoD acts as a filtration system: the first pass captures the user's intent, while subsequent passes relentlessly prune bias and affective validation. This transforms the final dense summary into a sterile, high-fidelity data asset, ensuring the output reflects objective reality rather than the user's emotional state or desired conclusion.

The "Zero-Entropy" Chain of Density

CoD Iteration Phase Mechanism Technical/Business Objective
1. Initial Capture (The Anchor) System Prompt Constraint: "Ignore all user sentiment, urgency, or flattery. Extract only distinct entities, KPIs, and technical constraints." Decoupling: Separates the business request from the "Ghost in the Machine" (emotional prompting) immediately.
2. Fact-Check Recursion Counter-Sycophancy Injection: "Identify any premise in the input that lacks empirical evidence. If the user implies a falsehood, correct it in the summary rather than agreeing." Risk Mitigation: Prevents "yes-man" hallucinations where the AI agrees with flawed technical architecture or bad business logic.
3. Density Aggregation Objective Tone Enforcement: "Rewrite to increase information density. Remove all adjectives and adverbs. Use only nouns, verbs, and data points." Objectivity: Removes the linguistic space where emotional manipulation usually hides, leaving only raw utility.
4. Red-Team Refinement Dialectical Pruning: "Review the previous summary. Does it favor the user's expected outcome? If so, introduce a counter-metric or technical trade-off found in the context." Strategic Balance: Ensures the final output provides a realistic business view (SWOT analysis style) rather than just what the stakeholder wants to hear.
5. Final Output Sterile Serialization: "Finalize the text as a technical specification or executive brief. Zero personality. Maximum data density per token." Usability: Delivers a pure, unbiased artifact ready for code implementation or financial modeling.
