Feedback changed the response.

With the words held equal, nonverbal outcome feedback shifted trained dialogue in the predicted direction. Released 2026.07.28 · Status: Reported.

Reported Private adapter result No independent replication

The measured result

Three conditions. One directional progression.
Target feedback
3/4

Intended trained responses.

No feedback
2/4

Same words, no outcome signal.

Inverted feedback
1/4

Outcome signal reversed.

Held-out dialogue did not improve: all conditions scored 1/2. The trained shift is the result; transfer is not.

Observed exchange

Final trained completions under target feedback. One remained different from the intended response and is preserved exactly.
