Don't people get the same validation from humans? I'm not convinced that this shows a problem with AI specifically.

    The study compares rate of sycophancy of AI compared to human responses, the point is not to say only AI does it, it is to say that it focuses on pleasing more than actual humans do and that has adverse effects

    It does not say humans are good at it, but that AI is worse
