Some Stanford researchers dredged out the absolute dregs of r/AmITheAsshole for all those stories where _zero_ humans supported the poster, where one hundred percent of them said yes, you are unambiguously the asshole, and fed them into LLMs as first person scenarios to see what the LLM had to say.
Unethical, harmful, cruel, criminal, didn't matter: the slopbots took the faux poster's side about half the time.
