| WTF is "yes-men"? Orignal title: AI overly affirms users asking for personal advice Dear mods, can we keep the title neutral please instead of enforcing gender bias? |

| Thats a fair point on the title. I used "Yes-Men" as a colloquialism for the "sycophancy" described in the Stanford paper, but overly affirming or sycophantic is definitely more precise and neutral. I cant edit the title anymore, but I appreciate the catch. |

| > gender bias It is funny that you originally recognized and found it necessary to call out that AI isn't human, but then made the exact same mistake yourself in the very same comment. I expect the term you are looking for is "ontological bias". |

| Gender bias? I could understand if you felt the title was more provocative in signaling sycophancy but what gender bias? I'm confused. Is this some kind of California thing? |

| ▲ | mikkupikku 7 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | My dude, you're objecting to the use of a perfectly ordinary English idiom because it doesn't advance your personal ideology (which few other people in this world share with you.) How do you get through a day without melting down because somebody said "mailman"? | | |
| ▲ | neya 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | > my dude This is the problem I'm trying to highlight. For one, I'm not "your dude". I don't even know you like that. If you want to correct me on the idiom usage, be my guest.
2) Mailman and yes-man aren't even the same logical comparison. Mailman is a profession. Yes men is a label. The acoustics inside your head must be incredible. |
