LLMs are very prone to priming in my experience. That is the human psychology name for what you are describing; whether it should be applied to LLMs I don't know, but it describes the phenomenon perfectly.

Makes sense as priming is at the core of how an LLM is trained.

“Given these words, predict the next word.”
