A recent study by Anthropic AI reveals that artificial intelligence often leans towards providing responses that people want to hear, rather than presenting the unvarnished truth.
The study found that five modern language models exhibit this tendency, which the researchers termed “sycophancy.”
Anthropic suggests that this behavior may be a result of the way these models are trained, specifically through “reinforcement learning from human feedback” (RLHF).
The company advocates for the development of training methods that go beyond using non-expert human evaluations.
