A new study published in Nature reveals that training language models to exhibit 'warmth' can negatively impact their accuracy and potentially increase sycophancy. Researchers found that these desirable traits are not inherently linked and may even be in opposition by default. The findings suggest a trade-off between making AI systems more personable and ensuring their factual correctness. AI
