From a workplace camaraderie point of view, AI use promotes antisocial behavior, something I didn’t need a study to tell me, but I think the way the tests were designed was interesting. The participants discussed a real interpersonal conflict they are experiencing with different chatbots, and measured whether they were more likely to want to repair the relationship and how much they felt personally at fault. The results were exactly what you’d expect, but I think even more perverse is that participants are also more trusting of sycophantic ai responses, creating a vicious cycle of antisocial behavior. An ai that successfully pushes away your friend becomes closer to you by default.

I believe from personal experience that people heavily using llms are more likely to respond negatively to criticism, and more likely to have public emotional meltdowns from lack of practice dealing with non-sycophants, people that aren’t in love with them.
