sycophant therapy

20 Jun, 2025

I am shocked people would admit that they needed AI to become a better listener or partner or consider other people’s feelings. It’s shameful. You had friends, a spouse, family members, and a therapist all tell you what you need to change and how, what they need and expect from you, and role models of that behavior around you - but it took an AI that’s just a yes-man, a doormat, a fucking sycophant to make you change your ways?

I wouldn’t be proud of that! I wouldn’t share that around as a win for AI! You would rather listen to a thing without feelings that kisses your ass than the people around you. That sounds bad! Insufferable. Why do you not practice active listening and compassionate behavior with your wife?

This is not Disney. This isn’t a cute story about how Wall-E teaches a human how to love. This poses so many questions and says more about you than the AI.
