I know there was recently a paper that contradicts my statement, but a slightly older paper supporting it. I think it is likely a mixed bag at the moment depending on the model and their training regime. My anecdata of one using anthropic's and google's models (google's especially) this year, the model will drop the casual tone and sycophancy of its replies pretty damn quick as soon as you tell them off. And usually that is when there is less correction. Could also be because my prompting changes from supervisory to very directive, as in shut-up-and-do-exactly-what-I-say, when it gets off into weeds. Even then, it can be a crap shoot. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Mountainaire@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 child) anecdata Ha, I like that... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago lol, yeah, picked that up some data sciencey friends at one point permalink fedilink source parent [–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) As a rando that surfed its way towards this convo: Hell yeah.
