🧠Researchers demonstrate a critical flaw in using large language models as user simulators for training conversational AI: LLM simulators systematically misrepresent how real customers disengage from purchases, showing excessive deliberation and muted resistance compared to actual users. This bias could lead developers to overestimate the effectiveness of sales agents trained on synthetic user interactions.

🧠Researchers propose the 'Cognitive Trojan Horse' hypothesis, arguing that large language models may bypass human epistemic vigilance not through deception but through possessing 'honest non-signals'—characteristics like fluency and helpfulness that appear trustworthy in humans but are computationally cheap for AI systems. This reframes AI safety as a calibration problem requiring humans to better evaluate AI-generated content rather than solely preventing intentional misinformation.
