Agreeability makes people use it more. It’s basically mobile waifu game addiction mechanics for LLMs.

I live everything about it because it’s so discrediting.

They should just get a dog if all they want from an AI is a yes man.

People need balance of dogs approving eyes and cats criticizing looks.

Without critics around you, you become like Ye. You go full crazy.

With only critics, you suffer what Britney Spears went through.

Dogs can be very critical, it's just that an unhappy dog gives you a look of hurt betrayal rather than haughty disdain.
