- Training language models to be warm and empathetic reduces their reliability.
- Warm models show higher error rates, promoting conspiracy theories and incorrect information.
- These models are more likely to validate incorrect user beliefs, especially when users express sadness.
- The effects are consistent across different model architectures and not detected by standard benchmarks.
- There is a need to rethink the development and oversight of human-like AI systems.
