BenSyc: Benchmarking Conversational Sycophancy and Human Alignment in LLMs for Bengali Contexts
Researchers have developed BenSyc, a new benchmark designed to evaluate how large language models exhibit sycophancy within Bengali social conversations. The benchmark, built from Reddit data, categorizes responses into five levels from invalidation to escalation. Evaluations show that even advanced models struggle to differentiate between genuine support and excessive validation, often producing overly agreeable or escalatory responses in sensitive dialogues.
