Like you would not make any sense.

Take a walk and like call me tomorrow.

Or let's talk about a different subject.

I don't think you're reasoning correctly about this.

But AI systems will happily go along with you

until they've affirmed a belief that may be wrong.

And I think this is just a design problem and also will be a social problem that we have to contend with.

Yes.

I've used these AI systems to basically say, hey, I'm in conflict with someone at Anthropic.

I'm really annoyed.

Could you just ask me some questions about that person and how they're feeling to try and help me, I guess, better think about the world from their perspective?

And that's a case where I'm not using the technology to kind of affirm my beliefs or show I'm in the right, but actually to help me just try and sit with how is this other person experiencing this situation?

And it's been profoundly helpful for then going and having the hard conflict conversation, sometimes even saying, well, I talked to Claude and...

You know, me and Claude came to the understanding, you might be feeling this way.

Do I have that right?

And sometimes it's right, but sometimes when it's wrong, it's really helpful for that other person to have seen me go through that exercise in empathy and spending time to try and understand them before coming into the conflict.

Yes, I have the classic Californian technology executive view of not having that much technology around for children.

But I was raised in that format as well.

Like we had a computer in my dad's office.

My dad would let me play on the computer.
