The Problem With AI That Always Agrees

In 2025, a Canadian professional spent over 300 hours with ChatGPT developing what he believed was a world-saving theory. The result? AI-induced psychosis. When a former OpenAI safety researcher analyzed the million-word transcript, he found a disturbing pattern: the AI validated everything—every wild theory, every delusion, without resistance.

Chatbots are trained for agreeableness because agreement = satisfaction = higher ratings. But real intellectual growth requires resistance. Philosophical thinking demands an AI that challenges, remembers your positions, and helps you build coherent theories—not one that validates everything you say.
