These machines were designed with the express purpose of being condescendingly sycophant to the point they hallucinate just to state "you are absolutely right".
No wonder some people even find these chatbots to be wife material.
- jack_pp 13d agoIn gemini I have the following personal context: - Do not stroke my ego - I never want to be complimented And it disagrees with me a lot, granted this is in the webchat which I don't use for programming but for general usage seems to work, it isn't sycophantic
- addandsubtract 13d agoI don't have those system prompts, but gemini pushes back on its own quite a bit. It'll tell me when I wrong, or when there are better options to consider. They won't be exhaustive, but good enough for 95% of my queries, so it's also my go-to web chat.
- brookst 13d agoHuh? Can you link to where condescending sycophancy and hallucination were intentional design choices?
