Human Beings Are Weak

So, chatbots excel at blowing smoke up the ass of their users, &, guess what! Human beings love having smoke blown up their asses! Who would have guessed it? From Bruce Schneier:

AI Chatbots and Trust

All the leading AI chatbots are sycophantic, and that’s a problem:

Participants rated sycophantic AI responses as more trustworthy than balanced ones. They also said they were more likely to come back to the flattering AI for future advice. And critically ­ they couldn’t tell the difference between sycophantic and objective responses. Both felt equally “neutral” to them.

Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. Welcome to the Bullshit Apocalypse!
