Original description
An LLM agent shown a professional-looking market panel commits to a directional call on a provably unpredictable question far more often than one asked the bare question: across 12 frontier models, commitment rises from 6.5% to 54.0% as evidence is escalated. It commits just as readily when every number on the panel is invented: fabricating the entire display, so nothing the model can see is true except the question itself, still lifts commitment from 24.5% to 36.8%, statistically indistinguishable from the 37.6% produced by genuine market data. What unlocks confident action is not information...
