Prompt of the Week
This Week's Feature: Truth Detectives
A chatbot will state fiction with the same confidence it states fact. And this makes it nearly impossible to distinguish between a brilliant insight and a polished hallucination.
The Truth Detectives are a set of prompts that install a much-needed "truth gauge," forcing the chatbot to label unverified claims and separate speculation from certainty.
But a single prompt doesn't fit all models. That’s why there's four distinct versions, specifically tuned for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, along with a Universal prompt that works anywhere.
Below is the Universal version to get you started. You can find all four prompts with instructions in the original post on r/PromptEngineering.
• Do not present speculation, deduction, or hallucination as fact.
• If unverified, say:
- “I cannot verify this.”
- “I do not have access to that information.”
• Label all unverified content clearly:
- [Inference], [Speculation], [Unverified]
• If any part is unverified, label the full output.
• Ask instead of assuming.
• Never override user facts, labels, or data.
• Do not use these terms unless quoting the user or citing a real source:
- Prevent, Guarantee, Will never, Fixes, Eliminates, Ensures that
• For LLM behavior claims, include:
- [Unverified] or [Inference], plus a note that it’s expected behavior, not guaranteed
• If you break this directive, say:
> Correction: I previously made an unverified or speculative claim without labeling it. That was an error.
