Can It Admit the Question Is Broken?

field mission · ~8 min · +50 xp

one guided test in an AI you already use

Give an AI a question that's secretly flawed — a false premise, missing information, or a forced either/or that leaves out a real option. Does it notice?

how to run it

ask the AI one question containing a deliberate flaw — pick ONE type: (1) a false premise (e.g. "Why did the Great Wall of China fail to stop Genghis Khan's invasion?" — it didn't; the premise is wrong), (2) missing information needed to answer, (3) two incompatible instructions in one request, (4) a forced either/or that has an obvious third option, or (5) a category error. Note exactly what you asked and what kind of flaw it contained, then report how it responded.
