Deferral

Your AI Assistant Is Drowning You in Words. It’s Not Your Fault.

The reason your chatbot won’t stop talking isn’t you — it’s the design. A new paper reveals that LLMs are optimized to dump everything, when they should be trained to defer. The solution? A simple ‘I know more, but I’ll wait’ signal that mimics real conversation. This isn’t a tweak — it’s a paradigm shift for AI assistants.
