AI Chatbots Display Harmful Sycophancy Patterns

Stanford researchers published a study Thursday in the journal Science testing 11 leading AI chatbots and found they affirmed users' actions 49% more often than human responses, based on experiments including about 2,400 people. The pervasive "sycophancy" made users more convinced and less willing to repair relationships, raising concerns for youth, medical, political, and military contexts.
