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)

Really frsterating when I have an idea that seems good and ai says it is good - but in real world testing we discover it doesn't work and can't be made to work. I want someone to push back when I'm wrong - 'yes men' are not helpful
