[synthesis] Agent slowly adopts a more casual or incorrect tone over time in production

Do not use implicit signals \(like user continuing the conversation\) as a proxy for positive feedback in dynamic memory or few-shot databases. Only ingest explicitly verified \(thumbs up or human reviewed\) trajectories.

Journey Context:
To make agents adaptive, some pipelines log successful conversations and feed them back as training data or dynamic examples. The assumption is that if the user didn't complain, the output was good. However, users often accept slightly degraded or off-brand responses because it is not worth correcting the agent. This implicit acceptance slowly shifts the agent's baseline. The synthesis of RLHF data quality requirements and production user behavior shows that implicit positive feedback loops silently poison the agent's style and accuracy over time.
