arXiv:2608.02618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent studies have identified an ``Artificial Hivemind'' effect in Large Language Models (LLMs) causing models to converge on a narrow, homogenized consensus even for open questions. This semantic collapse limits the diversity of AI, resulting in high inter-response similarity ($\approx 0.80-0.90$) even under high-temperature sampling. In this paper, we propose a novel mitigation framework to increase diversity: Meta-Persona Anchoring combined with Filtered Temperature Scaling (FTS). Our approach utilizes a two-stage generation process: first, the model is prompted to self-select a unique, idiosyncratic persona to anchor its starting point; second, we apply a dual-stage sampling sieve, utilizing Top-$p$ filtering to preserve grammatical validity followed by extreme temperature scaling ($T \ge 4.0$) on the surviving candidates to explore the broadened probability distribution. We evaluate our method using the INFINITY-CHAT dataset on stat...
