If they were developed to actually tell people the truth, rather than simply be a sycophant, things might be different. But as Pilate said all those years ago "what is truth".
- lukev 11mo agoWell, truth is hard to pin down, let alone computationally. But the sycophancy is definitely a problem.
- fragmede 11mo agosyncophancy and truth are orthogonal. It could correct an error that's been pointed out without prefacing it with "You're absolutely right!". It could move the goal posts and be angry and say that while you're right in this instance, I'm (the LLM) still right in these cases. Given that they still hallucinate wildly at inopportune times though, like you say, what is truth?
