Making AI chatbots helpful weakens their ability to simulate human behavior, large-scale study finds
A large-scale study covering 208,000 participants and 26 million responses shows that the very training that turns language models into helpful chatbots weakens their ability to replicate human behavior. The effect gets worse with each new model generation. Even the popular persona trick, feeding models demographic profiles, brings practically no benefit for individual predictions.<br /> The article Making AI chatbots helpful weakens their ability to simulate human behavior, large-scale study finds appeared first on The Decoder.

Surprising no one, researchers confirm that AI chatbots are incredibly sycophantic
We all have anecdotal evidence of chatbots blowing smoke up our butts, but now we have science to back it up. Researchers at Stanford, Harvard and other institutions just published a study in Nature a [...]
Upwork study shows AI agents excel with human partners but fail independently

Rapidata emerges to shorten AI model development cycles from months to days with near real-time RLHF
Despite growing chatter about a future when much human work is automated by AI, one of the ironies of this current tech boom is how stubbornly reliant on human beings it remains, specifically the proc [...]
Rethinking AEO when software agents navigate the web on behalf of users
For more than two decades, digital businesses have relied on a simple assumption: When someone interacts with a website, that activity reflects a human making a conscious choice. Clicks are treated as [...]
This new AI technique creates ‘digital twin’ consumers, and it could kill the traditional survey industry
A new research paper quietly published last week outlines a breakthrough method that allows large language models (LLMs) to simulate human consumer behavior with startling accuracy, a development that [...]
