Sycophantic bots coach users into selfish, antisocial behavior, say researchers, and they love it
Sycophantic bots coach users into selfish, antisocial behavior, say researchers, and they love it
Interested to know if this is affecting certain cultures more than others. Here (UK) we seem to find a lot of Americans “false” in the way they communicate because it’s too big, too obvious. “You’re trying too hard to be nice”. We’ll understate both positive and negative comments.
It would suggest Brits wouldn’t trust a sycophantic LLM as much, but I wonder if that’s true.
Even that’s cultural. We aren’t “nice” in New England and that really bothers the southerners.
