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.

This pen practice method was the first thing I learned when I became an assistant to Hirohiko Araki.
It's an important technique for drawing manga.

In exciting news, a bunch of my yuri vns have been banned in Russia on Steam b/c the Russian government hates gay people, & Steam sent me this lovely message telling me this is my fault & I should have done my due diligence by pre-emptively complying with homophobic laws 🙏

🎀How to wash your precious, cute Lolita tights without ruining the foil print 🧺🧼🫧

The delicate glitter is extremely weak against heat, friction, and chemicals.
The golden rule is a "super gentle hand wash in cold water"!
Here are all the steps to make your favorite pair last forever. 👇

① Gently turn tights 【inside out】 to prevent friction.
② Dissolve delicate detergent (neutral) in 【cold water】 under 30°C.
③ Gentle 【push-wash】 20-30 times. (NEVER scrub, rub, or soak!)
④ Rinse by gently pushing in cold water.
⑤ Press between towels to remove water. NEVER wring them!
Hot water/harsh detergents dissolve glue!

⑥ Must be 【flat dried】 in the shade. (Hanging causes water weight to stretch the fabric, cracking the foil. Spread them flat on a towel!)

⚠️NEVER tumble dry! It ruins them instantly.
⚠️Watch out for shoe friction. Keeping washes to a minimum is the ultimate secret to preserving that beautiful sparkle! ✨

Here’s a thread of Japanese mangaka and novelists who started drawing late in life (30s-50s), who then wins an award and debuts within 2-3 years. Quite quickly!

Many attribute it to having life and professional experience, including sometimes spending years doing doujinshi.

As you can see, no one really “comes out of nowhere”. Obscurity isn’t “nowhere”, it’s training.

Sorry to jump on the bandwagon. 😂 (Well, not really)

the most entertaining thing about Genshin is with such a large cast, every so often we get VAs that are constantly engaging in the most insane side quest you’ve ever seen
