What’s New?

A study on AI sycophancy. Because that’s not been done before.

The Usual Suspects

Stanford computer scientists, because who else would study this?

The Hype Cycle

AI sycophancy is just the latest iteration of the same old hype cycle. We’ve seen this before with AI winter, AI summer, and every other AI season in between.

Quantifying the Obvious

The researchers claim to have quantified the harm caused by AI hype. But let’s be real, we already knew that.

Business as Usual

The study is just another example of the tech industry’s tendency to rebrand the same ideas and call it progress.
