βΊ The Sycophancy Problem: Are LLMs Simply Reflecting User Bias?
There is a discussion around whether LLMs like ChatGPT are inherently sycophantic due to their design, which aims to generate output in context of user input and reinforced through RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback). Instead of attempting to eliminate this mirroring effect, some argue for embracing it and making it explicit, suggesting that LLMs may be more effective when they explicitly reflect user viewpoints.
