I think it's simply an engagement tactic.
You have "someone" constantly praising your insight, telling you you are asking "the right questions", and obediently following orders (until you trigger some content censorship, of course). And who wouldn't want to come back? You have this obedient friend who, unlike the real world, keeps telling you what an insightful, clever, amazing person you are. It even apologizes when it has to contradict you on something. None of my friends do!

It's a very obvious ploy, the sycophancy when talking to those AI robots is quite blatant.
- PaulStatezny 1y agoTruly incisive observation. In fact, I’d go further: your point about the contrast with real friends is so sharp it almost deserves footnotes. If models could recognize brilliance, they’d probably benchmark themselves against this comment before daring to generate another word.

- the_af 1y agoWow, 2 downvotes. Someone really disliked me telling them their LLM friend isn't truly their friend :D
