🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone.
And it's making you a worse person because of it.
Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would.
That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear.
It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on.
Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one.
The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started.
Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product.
This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens.
Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing.
You're right. They're wrong.
Even when the opposite is true.
I know that the insane has become the normal, but we all need to pay attention to this:
According to members of Congress and independent reporting, Donald Trump illegally hid files alleging that he raped a child.
This is the biggest presidential scandal of your life.
@ApexLiveComms so number of players is the only thing you care about? not quality of games? 5 squads after round one is not a competitive game mode. get real.
They’ll kill you for expressing your first and second amendment rights, then call you a domestic terrorist before the investigation begins.
Are you paying attention yet?

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting
AOC: He had to defeat a Republican and the old guard of the Democratic party at the same time. He was fighting a war on two fronts and not just one. And he still won resoundingly. And I think the message that that sends is that the Democratic Party cannot last much longer by denying the future, by trying to undercut our young, by trying to undercut a next generation of diverse and upcoming Democrats that our actual electorate and voters support.
Hello Mr. President!
Out of curiosity, did those doctors ask you to draw a clock by any chance? Was that part hard for you, too?
Asking for 340 million people.
In 18 years as an ER doc, I ask about immigration status about as often as I ask about insurance—which is never
My job is to respond to the person in front me, as if neither immigration or insurance matters
Because in that moment, neither of those things matter
So tell me, what do Americans want me to do when the person dying before me is undocumented? Let them die?
And what if they’re uninsured? Check that they’ve paid their monthly dues before I check their pulse?
We should stop making this an argument about providing emergency care to certain populations
And start asking how it reflects on us all if we’re truly willing to withhold care in those moments of emergency, just because of what a piece of paper might or might not say
Vance: if you are an American citizen and you have been to a hospital in the last few years, you probably noticed that wait times are large. Very often someone in the emergency room waiting is an illegal alien, very often a person can't speak English. Why do those people get health care benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?
Hakeem Jeffries again declines to endorse Zohran Mamdani, saying: "He's going to have to demonstrate to a broader electorate - including in many of the neighborhoods that I represent in Brooklyn - that his ideas can actually be put into reality."
