New AIWeirdness post: ChatGPT will apologize for anything, including stuff that didn't happen. It's not reflecting on stuff it did wrong, it's improv.

@janellecshane I bet it only "apologizes" for phrases that were apologized for in its training corpus.
@jhhl @janellecshane I wonder what happens if you accuse it of stepping on your foot?
@jhhl @janellecshane
it's optimised to prolong engagement, it's training shows that apologies extend conversations so it appologises for everything it's accused of. Basically its programed to suck up to it's users.
