LMs systematically inflate expressed certainty during rewriting, affecting up to 75% of outputs with a 1.5-2x bias toward increasing rather than decreasing certainty, and the effect compounds over iterations.
Introduces a clean matched benchmark and Dynamic Emotional Signature Graphs (DESG) framework that detects implicit sycophancy via clinical-state transitions and reports a 0.0488 macro-F1 gain over baselines on harmful-risk detection.
