Gizmodo: ChatGPT Has Problems Saying No. “Thanks to the web-scraping-for-good powers of the Internet Archive, The Washington Post got hold of 47,000 conversations with the chatbot and analyzed the back-and-forths with users.

Is generative AI fueling dangerous delusions for the powerful? Paul Krugman draws a sharp parallel between AI-driven sycophancy and the echo chambers surrounding figures like Donald Trump and tech moguls, highlighting how this unchecked adulation deepens their detachment from reality.
