I wonder if the deeper issue isn’t just “AI is too agreeable”, but that most advice (AI or human) doesn’t actually translate into action. A lot of people aren’t really looking for accurate feedback, they’re looking for something that feels coherent enough to sit with. Reddit gives extreme answers, AI gives agreeable ones, but in both cases the outcome is often the same: no real change in behavior. That might be why this feels worse with AI, it removes the friction you’d normally get from another human pushing back.
