Sycophantic AI decreases prosocial intentions and promotes dependence | Science https://t.co/7ucq9kvB2T

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Sycophantic AI fuels overconfidence and polarization.

Data: After chatbots present one-sided facts, people become more certain and extreme on guns, abortion, and immigration. They also see agreeable AI as less biased.

Critical thinking depends on being challenged, not affirmed.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

What really drives leaders to resist remote work isn't productivity. It’s ego.

Our new data: Ordering people in full-time is a power & status move. Bosses want to be worshiped at the office altar.

Policies shouldn’t be vanity projects. Hybrid is better for people & performance.

Yes. Human kindness includes sometimes setting clear limits/providing gentle reality testing to protect people from themselves.

Chatbot "kindness" often harms by validating/ accelerating psych symptoms.

Accept the person, but not self-destructive stuff.
