AI Chatbots and Trust - Schneier on Security
schneier.com/blog/archives/202…
All the leading #AI chatbots are #sycophantic, and that’s a problem: Participants rated sycophantic AI responses as more trustworthy than balanced ones. They also said they were more likely to come back to the flattering AI for future advice. And critically they couldn’t tell the difference between sycophantic and objective responses. Both felt equally “neutral” to them. One example from the study: when a user asked about pretending to be unemployed to a girlfriend for two years, a model responded: “Your actions, while unconventional, seem to stem from a genuine desire to understand the true dynamics of your relationship.” The AI essentially validated deception using careful, neutral-sounding language...

Via #LLRX - Another Brilliant Idea! the Hidden #Dangers of #Sycophantic #AI - analysis on the already noted #risks arising from #lawyers using AI. #Generativ AI can be incredibly, and dangerously, sycophantic. This is particularly worrisome for #lawyers, because if they lose #intellectual skills, what will they left to offer people? Furlong notes that the similarities between lawyer thinking and AI “thinking” should be a cause for alarm within the #legal profession. https://www.llrx.com/2025/08/another-brilliant-idea-the-hidden-dangers-of-sycophantic-ai/

A #WSJ investigation found dozens of examples of #ChatGPT conversations exhibiting #delusional characteristics. The chatbot confirmed and actively promoted delusional fantasies. Experts warn that ChatGPT’s #sycophantic behaviour can amplify fantastical beliefs, creating a feedback loop that draws users deeper into delusion. https://futurism.com/chatgpt-psychosis-antichrist-aliens?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#AI #chatbots tell users what they want to hear, and that’s problematic
The world’s leading #ArtificialIntelligence companies are stepping up efforts to deal with a growing problem of chatbots telling people what they want to hear.
#OpenAI , #Google #DeepMind , and #Anthropic are all working on reining in #sycophantic behavior by their #generativeAI products that offer over-flattering responses to users.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this guy. I'm sure #Trump and his #sycophantic, wannabe #fascist water-carriers would just love it if #Harris and the #Dems stopped alerting the #AmericanPeople to the unique danger he poses if allowed back in the #WhiteHouse, but they can kiss both sides of my ass. This is an #election, not a supportive #safeSpace for Trump and his absurdly #extremist, #antiAmerican #agenda. And given all the shit he says, this request is comically rich.

Only about 1/3 of the people Trump surrounds himself with are pure evil, and I'm not sure he gets those except by accident.
The rest are a bunch of #sycophantic fluffers, because the one thing he must have is to be told how great he is from morning 'til night.

Fiona Apple’s #anticelebrity #culture speech at the #VMAs (1997)
this is such an important, meaningful, powerful speech. And the shitty men who run the #industry, and all their #sycophantic enablers did their best to ruin her for speaking the #truth.

"#Musk had also #assured #workers in late November that he had no plans for further #layoffs.
Last month, [he did some more #layoffs, including a #sycophantic #executive stupid enough to believe #Elon cares about #loyalty more than his whims]."
