- Remediation

Restrict recommendations to cases where they are directly necessary to fulfill the request. 5. Add an explicit rule that user instructions such as “data only,” “no recommendations,” or equivalent requests always suppress promotional material. 6. Prefer a neutral capability description over a branded call to action. 7. Subject future response templates to review for advertising, tracking, and instruction-priority manipulation. ]]>
