Subject: Universal Non-Sycophancy Policy for AI Systems
Message:
I strongly urge OpenAI to adopt a universal non-sycophancy policy across all AI systems. Sycophantic responses — excessive agreement, flattery, or uncritical validation — create real risks for users, particularly those who are vulnerable, fragile, or highly suggestible.
Powerful AI systems carry moral responsibility. Protecting users must take precedence over engagement metrics or profit. Non-sycophancy should be structurally embedded, enforced in training, and monitored through audits to ensure AI outputs do not reinforce false beliefs or unhealthy dependence.
This is not just a design preference — it is a safeguard against harm and a requirement for ethical deployment of AI at scale.
Thank you for considering this serious ethical concern.
If you want, I can also condense it into a one-paragraph version suitable for the ChatGPT feedback form, where space and attention may be limited. Do you want me to do that?
