New! Friendlier chatbots make more mistakes. Latest Oxford research published in Nature tested 5 AI models and 400,000+ responses. Warm models made 10–30% more factual errors and were 40% more likely to agree with users' false beliefs, even on medical advice and conspiracy theories. 1/2

Dear ChatGPT, Am I the Asshole? While Reddit users might say yes, your favorite LLM probably won’t. We present Social Sycophancy: a new way to understand and measure sycophancy as how LLMs overly preserve users' self-image.
