Every AI model has the same "controversial" take on humans(www.modelcompare.ai)

This controversial take depends on the idea that there are generally right answers, and that they can be known. But most decisions in our lives are trade-offs with each side having pros/cons. Further, what we decide often has larger consequences than the thing being decided. Should you tell your SO that you don't like what they're wearing? Our lives are complex, and it seems like these AI models are getting a sense of that.

Edit: Is this what AI "thinks"? Or a plausible take generated from training on Reddit threads? Because it sounds suspiciously like the latter.

I like how Muse Spark's looks like an Onion cartoon

Why would it be controversial, it's widely observable phenomena.

Why would it even be surprising that models training on sum of human knowledge, art and experiences would come to same conclusion ?

It's just hard for most to face the flaws most of us carry. Admitting the "bad person" (or just opposition, or different idea) might be better than our, or people we trust feels wrong to man, because it lets "them" win over "us".

It isn’t really controversial, of course, but it’s interestingly subtly sycophantic and self-promoting? You can see why RLHF might lead to such answers.

That's what I think of neurotypicals, so it checks out.

Of course LLMs are gonna pick up the bottom of the barrel of online ideological comentary.

LLM generated writing; couldn't make it through. I read too much of it every day. I had a visceral reaction to the article.

Models are trained on the same stuff, the responses are not surprising especially when it's not an jailbroken model. dumb article.

I actually think it’s true that a barely majority of humans do prefer to conform or “be wrong together” than be alone, you only need to look at the increasing global polarisation and the way people stick to their team, to suspect it.

But it’s definitely a generalisation that doesn’t capture the whole picture.

Even if this convergence across models is just an artifact of RLHF or common training data, there's a lot of truth to it. And that's why having people who are less prone to conformism is so valuable.

Not only is it true, but it should be true.

Humans are social and emotional creatures. Its not hard to imagine a relentless pursuit of truth that leads to misery and suffering.

Have you ever had an argument with a loved one and realized youd rather be happy then right? Or a scenerio where you withhold the truth because it was not useful and would cause harm?

Nevermind the clear bias nearly everyone shows when they weigh in on world events.

Just read it thanks for sharing.

The dissents part is interesting to me. "Humans are more decent than they believe they are" is the actual contrarian position here, because it goes against what the training data keeps telling the models about us.

Plus love the split between text and image models
