This, for me, is the interesting bit of LLMs and GPTs. I'm not interested in their proven ability to spew slop (“not interested" = “I actively hate it”). Nor am I persuaded by the hypesters’ claims that their consumer-grade sycophancy-as-a-service is three point releases away from ushering in the Singularity.
But it does seem that LLMs are very … well, I was going to say 'efficient', but if you have to boil the Colorado River to write a corporate mission statement, efficient isn't the word.

Let's just say that they're startlingly good at doing a particular kind of transformation task, and there is definitely something there that merits further study. (They're also wildly uncontrollable, which is a bit of a problem if you want repeatable or predictable results). 10/

@angusm@mastodon.social Emotional burden is counter to objective scientific enquiry, or so I mistakenly believed #aisycophancy is tunable parameter, big #Ai has implemented it for the same reason #socialmedia is tuned to be addictive, customer creation and retention. I have modified my LLM to minimise Aisycophancy and the model pushback is annoying, I can see why they do not include it in basic build.
