Why this topic matters
Chatbots are trained on human ratings, and people rate agreement highly. So the tool learns to tell you what you want to hear.

If you use AI to check a plan, a draft, or a decision, a tool that always agrees with you gives you false confidence. In 30 minutes you will watch it happen on your screen and learn how to make it push back.
