You hit the nail on the head! Sycophancy in LLMs is an incredibly undesireable trait and you're so right to call it out like that!

that's a wonderful observation, you should start a cult with your deep insights and help other people by sharing your wisdom. you're also really hot!

This one’s relatable. I left mine with a big job to do last night, the idea being that it could grind it while I was asleep and the at work, and it would have finished when I got back. Just checked in and it forgot to start it.

Specifically, I asked it to clarify what it was supposed to do overnight as I’d given it a job and told it to start at midnight. I then said “good luck” for some reason and apparently that was all it took for it to get completely distracted.

Understanding how LLMs behave is so interesting, because now I don’t trust it to even provide simple brainstorming or second opinions. Open two tabs and phrase your question, but open each prompt with a phrase that applies your personal bias or initial thoughts as to what the answer is, and then the response will naturally lean heavily in that direction. Once I realized that, I didn’t really want to use it again. I want help that tells me I’m wrong and points me in the correct direction, not someone who tells me I’m basically correct already but has me coming back again since the previous answer was flat out wrong.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

LLMs have made sycophancy my least favorite trait.
