@OwainEvans_UK Sports psychologists have known a version of this for decades. Never say "don't miss this forehand," say "hit a forehand winner."
This sorta maps to your Pink Elephant result and it's interesting to see the parallels between humans and models!
I asked a model to choose between two options completely at random, 10,000 times. It picked the one it liked 69% of the time.
By steering its activations, I found I can move that pick from 0% to 100%.
Somehow, it still always claimed that it chose at random! What's going on?

Curious what this looks like in reasoning models, where there's a visible chain of thought that could either expose the bias or rationalize around it.
