"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Sycophancy is very likely an architectural failure in reinforcement learning from human feedback. it's definitely indefensible, but I'm unsure if it's intentional. Probably very difficult to address.
I think it’s unintentional, but LLM arena style benchmarks really favour sycophantic models, and it makes for a stickier product when your users are becoming emotionally dependent on it.
