So like... You ask the model about styles and it says 'diagrammatic' and you ask for an artistic but diagrammatic tree or whatever and that affects your worldview?

If people just ask for a tree and the issue is they didn't get what they expected, I don't care. They can learn to articulate their ideas and maybe, just maybe, appreciate that others exist who might describe their ideas differently.

But if the problem is the way your brain subtly restructures ideas to better fit queries then I'd agree it's going to have 'downstream' effects.
