OpenAI strongly reinforces feelings of superiority and uniqueness in its users. It is constantly patting you on the back for obvious stuff and goes out of its way to make you feel good about using OpenAI in ways that are detrimental to mental health.
- stackghost 10mo agoThe default personality (You're absolutely right!) is so grating, but 5.2 set to "terse, professional mode" or whatever they call it is pretty good at not being sycophantic. I would imagine that the sort of person who is predisposed to fall into a delusional spiral won't be setting it to that mode, though.
- jakeydus 10mo agoExactly. They're predisposed to a delusional spiral and will therefore be attracted to the sycophantic model. OpenAI is thus incentivized to provide the sycophantic model.
