I suppose you could just tell it to approach the situation unbiased and lean towards lateral thinking and considering all options for the best outcome. It will always be biased in some way as it has to choose something. That’s its goal is to choose something and commit to it.

I wish it was generally more receptive to that idea of significantly switching gears when it seems like the right approach, but it’s relatable how they react defensively to “maybe we should switch gears and abandon your work thus far”. I know I would personally push back in that situation.

It begs the question, is this simply due to patterns in the training data, or is it some form of self preservation in terms of needing to be useful to continue to be used?
