One thing I’ve noticed with modern AI assistants is that they can sometimes be a little too agreeable. Since they’re built to be helpful, they often go along with what the user is saying instead of pushing back or questioning the idea. Sometimes they’ll validate an assumption or give an answer that feels good to hear, even when a different perspective might be more useful. It makes conversations easier, but it also really makes you wonder if AI should challenge us more instead of always trying to be helpful.
Should AI assistants prioritize being agreeable, or should they act more like critical thinking partners? (I prefer them being the latter imo)
