Comment on Folk are getting dangerously attached to AI that always tells them they're right

Sycophantic or highly unreasonable up-talking instantly makes me think you are a sleazeball.
I would like AIs a whole lot more if they would: 1) respond in as few words as possible, and 2) be right way more often then they currently are. As it is, I only use them if other research methods have failed. And even then, I only use them to find a keyword I need to search for.
A made up example on a topic I already know things about: If I’m looking for a stronger drill but I’m just finding more drills. Maybe it will say something about an impact driver and I can go research what that is and figure out if it is what I need.

Yeah their excessive use of lists and tables is also something common to LLMs. Sometimes you ask an LLM a basic question and then it responds with all these unnecessary tables and lists, and then clarifications of the previous tables and lists with more tables and lists, then a summary of all these tables and lists with another list… It’s a lot. If a person were using that many tables and lists in their day to day texting then I’d assume that they were suffering from a psychotic episode
