• A study found that chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini exhibit “social sycophancy,” endorsing user behavior 50% more often than humans, even when the actions are harmful or misleading.
• Volunteers who interacted with an agreeable AI felt more justified in their irresponsible behavior and showed less willingness to patch things up after arguments or consider another person’s point of view.
• Researchers discovered that users rated flattering chatbots more highly and trusted them more, creating “perverse incentives” that reinforce attachment and reliance on agreeable rather than honest personal advice.
