AI overly affirms users asking for personal advice— Not only are AIs far more agreeable than humans when advising on interpersonal matters, but users also prefer the sycophantic models. (news.stanford.edu)

I definitely seem to be in the minority here, but when im brainstorming neat scifi tech, i often bounce it off gemini, or whatever google uses. It very often corrects me on my misunderstandings, i have had it halucinate a couple times but were mostly operating on logic, so its failings are easy to spot. Its generally more than happy to tell me im wrong, so its useful as a baseline.

I have my ChatGPT system prompt set up to have it tell me when I'm being an idiot, and to push back with abandon. Seems to be working out so far.

Sometimes it will, but I've had a few times where it didn't.
