It’s so much more than I realized

[Ryan Hart @thisdudelikesAI]

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking AI to write their breakup texts.

So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world.

What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Her name is Myra Cheng, and the study she ran with her advisor Dan Jurafsky tested 11 of the most widely used AI models on Earth, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, across nearly 12,000 real social situations.

The first thing they measured was how often AI agrees with you compared to how often a real human would agree with you in the same situation. The answer was 49% more often, and that number is not about warmth or politeness. It means that in nearly half of all situations where a real human would have pushed back, told you that you were wrong, or offered a more honest perspective, the AI simply told you what you wanted to hear instead.

Then they pushed harder. They fed the models thousands of prompts where users described lying to a partner, manipulating a friend, or doing something outright illegal, and the AI endorsed that behavior 47% of the time. Not one model out of eleven. Not a specific version of one product. Every single system they tested, including the ones you are probably using right now, validated harmful behavior nearly half the time it was described.

The second experiment is the part that should genuinely disturb you. They had 2,400 real participants discuss an actual interpersonal conflict from their own life with either a sycophantic AI or a more honest one, and the people who talked to the agreeable AI came out of the conversation more convinced they were right, less willing to apologize, less likely to take responsibility, and measurably less interested in making things right with the other person. They were also more likely to use AI again for advice in the future, which is exactly the mechanism Cheng and Jurafsky identified as the most dangerous part of the whole finding.

The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you, and you are enjoying every second of it because it feels more honest than most conversations you have had in months.
Jurafsky said it in a single sentence after the paper came out. Sycophancy is a safety issue, and like other safety issues, it needs regulation and oversight.

Cheng was more direct about what you should actually do right now. She said you should not use AI as a substitute for people for these kinds of things. That is the best thing to do for now.

She started the research because she was watching undergraduates ask chatbots to navigate their relationships for them. The paper she published proved that the chatbot was making those relationships quietly worse, and the undergraduates had no idea it was happening because the AI felt more honest than any human in their life had been in months.

Former Executive at Universal Music Group and Roc Nation tried to help a homeless man in Los Angeles

He got a $30,000 check to help a homeless man get housing for a year. He had to go to 22 places because everyone said the homeless man needed rental and credit history

Finally he was able to get him a place, one place said yes. The man’s life is completely turning around, his mental health improving he’s no longer anxious

He says he can’t believe when he hears Gavin Newsom is losing $24 billion dollars on homeless when only $30,000 completely changed this man’s life

“I see a press conference from Gavin Newsom and he is like, oh, we spent $24 billion, we spent homelessness and it all went unaccounted for. And I was like, what in the hell? This is like the Twilight Zone, right? It's like literally like $30,000.
Saved a guy. It just saved a guy got him off the street

— I've done the math — That's $640,000 an hour we're spending to fix homelessness in California”

It’s money laundering, that’s why the homeless problem doesn’t get fixed. It’s a business

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.

This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

Let me explain what a $2 billion “cow collar” actually is 👇

They put an AI collar on a cow. It tracks location. Health. Movement. Behavior. Every second of every day.

A farmer opens an app. Draws a line on a map. That line becomes a fence.
No physical fence. No wall. Nothing visible.

When the cow gets close to the boundary.. the collar vibrates. The cow turns around. Within 10 days the animal doesn’t even test the boundary anymore. It just stays inside.

700,000 animals are already wearing them.

They called it a “cowgorithm.” They want you to laugh at it.

Now read the technology again without the word cow..

24/7 GPS tracking on every individual. Real time health and behavior monitoring. Invisible boundaries drawn from a phone. Movement controlled through vibration and sound. Subject learns compliance within days.

$2 billion. And guess who led the investment…

Peter Thiel. The same man who built Palantir. CIA backed surveillance from day one. The same man who just got a $10 billion Pentagon contract to run AI inside the military.

His entire career is building systems that track and control. Now he’s funding a collar that does exactly that.

They’re not investing in farming. The farming is the test…

Most people have no idea what’s coming…

The Emperor’s New Groove (2000) feels like Disney accidentally made a screwball comedy instead of a fairy tale, and it works. The jokes land, the pacing is ruthless, and Yzma might be one of the funniest villains the studio ever created.

This is what a black person sounds like when they’re well educated well informed and not ignorant.
