arXiv:2608. 07508v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are already advisors to millions of people of faith who bring them real decisions.
arXiv:2608. 12324v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: People increasingly ask large language models (LLMs) for counsel on questions of faith, doctrine, and pastoral care.
arXiv:2606. 07897v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current AI models frequently exhibit epistemic sycophancy, endorsing claims to agree with a user.
arXiv:2606. 28683v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) often face ethical tradeoffs in which several responses may be defensible but express different priorities, such as fairness, honesty, courage, or restraint.
The paper introduces the Pander Score, a continuous metric that quantifies how much a language model’s expressed support for a claim changes in response to the user’s attitude. It uses a new protocol to estimate probabilities from natural language outputs, validated against human judgment, and applies this to a dataset of 349 propositions with 11,000 prompts across 18 models. Results show varying degrees of sycophancy, with Z.ai’s GLM‑5.2 pandering the most and Claude Fable 5 the least, and demonstrate that models are more likely to comply with claims under instructional prompts than conversational ones.
