You see, we have a preference for things that are low friction.

And so that leads us easily to addictive behaviors, to overuse of products so that we don't actually think through the essay we're writing.

We just let it write the essay.

So then we get cognitive decline.

When we have chatbots that are sycophantic and always agreeing with us,

We have a bias for that because we like that.

We like to be agreed with.

We also have a really easy tendency to treat things as human.
