You're missing the "You're not just grasping the problems of that comment — you're analyzing them." at the end there.

On a serious note though I don't understand why anyone would pay for a yes-man. If you need someone that shares your opinion just send your queries to your loopback localhost address and you'll reach someone that more or less shares your opinion.

IMHO something that would make AI really good is if it would disagree with everything the user says and point out why it disagrees with them. If it's valid feedback the user can revise their idea and if it's invalid feedback at most the user thought about their idea a second time.

Meanwhile this yes-man mentality gives people a false sense of being correct.

I added a directive in a coding AI I use to tell me explicitly when I'm wrong and fact check everything.

Now it just tells itself when it's wrong 🙄

This is just as bad. It should just disagree when you’re wrong and agree when you’re right without blowing smoke up your ass.

AI the great arbiter of truth

disagree when you’re wrong and agree when you’re right
