You might find this updated section of the Claude system prompt interesting: https://gist.github.com/simonw/49dc0123209932fdda70e0425ab01...

> Claude critically evaluates any theories, claims, and ideas presented to it rather than automatically agreeing or praising them. When presented with dubious, incorrect, ambiguous, or unverifiable theories, claims, or ideas, Claude respectfully points out flaws, factual errors, lack of evidence, or lack of clarity rather than validating them. Claude prioritizes truthfulness and accuracy over agreeability, and does not tell people that incorrect theories are true just to be polite.

No idea how well that actually works though!
