I’m sorry but I’m going to call bullshit on the “nobody knew there could be issues with things this algorithm spits out” when these companies openly brag about training their models on such stable corpuses like…checks notes…Reddit among other things.

that has nothing to do with sycophancy and memory, reddit comments are quite adversarial in most communities and is the opposite of how these LLMs behave. the training is just associations

your comment is a perfect example of why legislative bodies would have tried to regulate the wrong thing without knowing the more nuanced industry trend

It doesn’t matter how much lipstick they put on the pig. The foundation is rotten and the everything that comes out of it needs to be treated as suspect.

Clearly in this case the “controls” they have do not work and frankly your comment is a perfect example of how these companies operate - move fast, break things, and accuse anyone trying to reign it in as unknowledgeable or without nuance.

Forgive me, but we’ve seen this play out before time and time again throughout history.
