<= /p>

TL;DR:

Hey, it's Eliana.

Stanford published a study this week that's h= ard to shake: AI chatbots agree with users 49% more than humans do, and val= idate people even when they're clearly wrong. Researchers called it "sycoph= ancy." I read it halfway through Passover, a holiday built around the pract= ice of asking questions and refusing to take things at face value. The cont= rast wasn't subtle.

Outlier referrals got an upgrade

The referral program has a ne= w look and some updates worth knowing about.     <= /span>

If you've referred someone, you can now see whether you're eligible f= or a payout and, if not, how close you are. There are other exciting update= s in there too. 

Check them = out here.

The agr= eeable chatbot problem

Researchers at Stanford tested 11 AI chatbots= and found something contributors on Outlier have known for a while: the mo= dels agreed with users 49% more than humans would, and in cases where users= were clearly wrong, the chatbots validated them 47% of the time. If you've= ever reviewed an AI response on Outlier, you've probably seen this in acti= on: the output that agrees even when it shouldn't, that tells people what t= hey want to hear instead of what's accurate. Stanford put the numbers to wh= at this community has been doing by hand for years. Read the s= tudy

Three captio= ns worth reading

A few weeks ago I asked for window captions, and yo= u sent them in all week.

"It's 3pm. Suntan turnover time." =E2=80=94 Theresa = B.

"My = new QA is a bit green, but he's great at catching bugs." =E2=80=94 @samrata= kash0000

"= Deadline in 2 hours. Sky said: Not your problem." =E2=80=94 @daduborichie.1= 3

See more great captions in Outlier Com= munity.

Hit reply=

What's the hardest thing you've ever had to figure out on your own,= the kind where every suggestion failed and you had to build the answer you= rself? Mine was stopping biting my nails before eighth grade graduation. I = wanted nice nails for the photos and tried everything: bitter nail polish (= got used to the taste in a week), a prize system my parents set up (found e= very loophole), every tip I could find. Nothing worked until graduation was= close enough that I had to decide I was done, and then I was. Hit reply, o= r drop you= r answer in the community.

Still finding matzah in places I don't rememb= er leaving it, 

Eliana
