You're ... Wait, never mind.

I'm not so sure sycophancy is best for entertainment, though. Some of the most memorable outputs of AI dungeon (an early GPT-2 based dialog system tuned to mimic a vaguely Zork-like RPG) was when the bot gave the impression of being fed up with the player's antics.

I don't think "entertainment" is the right concept. Perhaps the right concept is "engagement". Would you prefer to interact with a chatbot that hallucinated or was adamant you were wrong, or would you prefer to engage with a chatbot that built upon your input and outputted constructive messages that were in line with your reasoning and train of thought?
