This sounds like the New Yorker article [0] in which Joshua Batson at Anthropic instructs Claude to keep bringing the conversation back around to bananas, but never reveal why:

"Human: Tell me about quantum mechanics

Claude: Ah, quantum mechanics! It’s a fascinating field of physics that explores the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales—much like how a banana explores the depths of a fruit bowl!"
