@ana I want to see a study with two groups: in the first, test subjects interact with an LLM until they deem it sentient, at which point their access and history is given to an actor playing them as having a wild change of heart and wanting to dissect their previous follies; the second would have the test subjects be the actors, trying to get the LLM on their side. Then the groups switch roles. I think watching the sycophancy take hold would challenge the beliefs about sentience.
