Comment on Father sues Google, claiming Gemini chatbot drove son into fatal delusion
SalamenceFury@piefed.social 2 days agoIn every other case of AI bots doing this, the bot will always affirm whatever the person says. So if they say something a little weird, the AI will confirm it and feed it further. This happens every time. The bots are pretty much designed to keep talking to the person, so they’re essentially sycophantic by design.

I was essentially trying to get it to tell me I was the smartest baby born in whatever year like that YouTuber—different example but it was so resistant to agreeing to me or my idea or whatever being unique/exceptional.
Hope this is a specific direction and not random chance, A/B testing, etc.

Or you just really really are not the smartest baby.
