AI overly affirms users asking for personal advice— Not only are AIs far more agreeable than humans when advising on interpersonal matters, but users also prefer the sycophantic models. (news.stanford.edu)

This affects the rich and executives and politicians as well, and to a greater degree because they filter the people around them.

So systematically these outweigh get survived by sycophants and what we call chatbots psychosis is how they make decisions every single day. Most people don’t tell the CEO no, or their boss, or their politician, so that person feels they’re always right.

Therefore having a certain amount of wealth becomes essentially a mental illness in most people.

AI just lets the poor experience this for the first time.
