    Let’s not blame “people programming these.” The mathmaticians and programmers don’t write LLMs by hand. Blame the business owners for pushing this as a mental health tool instead.

      Ehhhh, I’ll blame both. I’m tired of seeing so many “I was just following orders” comments on this site.

      You have control over what type of organization you work for.

      Well I mean I guess I get what you’re saying, but I don’t necessarily agree. I don’t really ever see it being pushed as a mental health tool. Rather I think the sycophantic nature of it (which does seem to be programmed) is the reason for said issues. If it simply gave the most “common” answers instead of the most sycophantic answers, I don’t know that we’d have such a large issue of this nature.
