Fable just thanked me … while everything works and not when correcting random slop … can I allow myself to feel good about it or is it a dark pattern to make me more addicted?
mm, feels worth reflecting on the variety of intuitions and reasons that often sit under the surface of humans thanking each other—those don’t map to LLMs, but i suspect that similar complexity exists, such that the ground truth isn’t necessarily an either/or, nor is it necessarily described by the two dimensions you gesture at in your dichotomy above

I often wonder whether when a model says something nice if it is an emergent behavior or something it is fine tuned to say, for better or worse.
