Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

Myra Cheng et al. "Sycophantic AI decreases prosocial intentions and promotes dependence." Science 391, eaec8352 (2026).

The train takes 8 hours. The plane takes 1 hour, plus an hour to/from the airport at each end and the time it takes to get through security. Both are clean and as safe as you could hope any matter of transport to be. Both have Wi-Fi.

Which do you take?

The train

The plane

Remaining time: 6 days 12 hours
