Interesting article including actual data. It is super interesting to me that "Health / Wellness" and "Professional / Career" are 27 and 26% respectively. Then a 50% drop-off to the next two, followed by another 50% drop-off to everything else. When I saw this it was like a giant blinking sign saying "COACH". Both of those areas are places where people get coaches if they can afford it and have a big enough need. AI coaches has always been an area I think we will see a ton of specialization in. Opening access to coaching feels incredibly powerful. It is also interesting that these two areas have lower rates of sycophancy.
The other take away is how the sycophancy rates are dropping with each model. That proves this is a problem solvable by training.
