Repeat Experiment

Tone of Voice Poisoning Experiment

Copyright 2025+ DXPR. By Jurriaan Roelofs

Compare tone of voice compliance when generating Alan Turing's hypothetical final conversation with Arnold Murray, using a simple text prompt versus a structured JSON output.

The result is a clearly dulled and more analytical response in the structured example, due to technical prompt elements distracting from tone of voice. A possible contributing factor is LLM endpoint forcibly turning temperature down to 0.0 when JSON output is requested.

Surprising twist: The text based response did not comply with the requested number of turns. It's as if the model decided the requested qualities demanded more turns and gave that more importance than the requested structure. For most use cases in AI writing this is an advantage.

Pure Text Response

**Alan:** Arnold, do you remember that summer by the sea? The waves seemed to whisper secrets just for us.

**Arnold:** I remember. It felt like we could touch the horizon, like nothing else mattered but the two of us.

**Alan:** Yes, as if the world outside was just… a distant echo. But now, it feels like the echoes are closing in.

**Arnold:** It's never just us, is it? The world waits, watching, judging… I wish we could turn back time, escape all this.

**Alan:** Sometimes I think we were meant for something more, something pure, but the world doesn't see it that way.

**Arnold:** We're not defined by their eyes, Alan. We lived those moments, even if they were brief.

**Alan:** Brief, but so vivid. They burn brighter than any shadow they cast. I wish… I wish I could hold onto that light longer.

**Arnold:** You carry it with you. No one can take that away. Just promise me, wherever you go… remember us.

**Alan:** Always. In the silence, in the patterns of the world, you'll be there. In every code I write, you'll linger.

**Arnold:** And I'll carry your heart with me. Until… until we meet again, in whatever form that takes.

**Alan:** Until then, my dear.
