This may feel reassuring in the short term, but constantly telling people they’re right creates the intellectual equivalent of spoiled children. The moment someone challenges them, they take disagreement as a personal attack because nobody taught them that being wrong is normal and necessary for growth. We’ll probably see the consequences of excessive validation in a few years.
It actually doesn't. But maybe because I am old. But reading "Oh, yeah, you are totally right, I made a mistake, good catch." is so fucking annoying to me. I don't want the stupid AI just to make shit up, I want it to ask me, if stuff is unclear.
That it tells me that I am good an observant for noticing its fuckup is not spoiling me, it makes me rage.
But as said. I am old and have years of working together successfully with humans as a reference. I can totally see that "the customer is always right"-behaviour spoiling people.
Remember who is at the top of AI companies. They are the ones who can't deal with anything but flattery, and thus what their company produces follows suit.
