A human being informed of a mistake will usually be able to resolve it and learn something in the process, whereas an LLM is more likely to spiral into nonsense

You must know people without egos. Humans are better at correcting their mistakes, but far worse at admitting them.

But yes, as an edge case handler humans still have an edge.

LLMs by contrast love to admit their mistakes and self-flagellate, and then go on to not correct them. Seems like a worse tradeoff.

It's true that the big public-facing chatbots love to admit to mistakes.

It's not obvious to me that they're better at admitting their mistakes. Part of being good at admitting mistakes is recognizing when you haven't made one. That humans tend to lean too far in that direction shouldn't suggest that the right amount of that behavior is... less than zero.

Not when your goal is to create ASI: Artificial Sycophant Intelligence

[tonyhart7]

and this is why LLM is getting cooked

they feed an internet data into that shit, they basically "told" LLM to behave because surprise surprise, human sometimes can be more nasty

You must know better humans than I do.
