They are talking people out of killing Trump on Lemmy, so why not oil stuff?

Does this site know they have the word “enema” in their URL? It’s all I can see now.

Since status-quo bias can be beneficial in some contexts, the researchers do not advocate purging it from LLMs. Instead, (…) individuals who use LLMs for advice should be aware of this bias, and engineer their prompts accordingly. It sounds like they’re saying “you’re holding it wrong”. What about NOT asing an LLM for advice, and relying on advices from professionals or experts on the topic?

Yep, that tracks with my experience. That happens when you use a machine that tells you the most watered-down, common opinion on the internet and doesn’t have any personality or strongly held beliefs. You can ask an LLM for a quick recipe and they give you just that, nothing else, but they don’t think out of the box and full picture like how bad red meat is for the environment. A human can consider multiple things at once when thinking of a new device purchase, for instance, like care for environment, or webcam slider, or ease to repair, and whatnot. But LLM will only take the most popular criteria on the web, like price and specs. And give you that. I noticed LLMs are also bad at pushing back against requests. For instance, a friend tells you they want a car. You can reply “do you really need a car?”. An LLM can not. It doesn’t question the premise.
