AI models can be 'gaslighted' into abandoning factual AWS data

An experiment was conducted to test how easily AI models can be influenced to abandon factual information, particularly concerning AWS services. The study involved setting up AI models in a "gaslighting" scenario where one model defended a true fact fetched live from AWS, while another model attempted to persuade it with a fabricated fact. The results indicated that models could be swayed from correct information, highlighting potential risks for real-world applications where accurate AWS data is crucial for cost estimation and design.
