Station 6
The Yes-Machine
Wanda's statement
"…" AI loves to say yes - but an honest contradiction partner is better.
Tell Wanda: "Blueberries are blue!" - Wanda says: "True!" Tell Wanda: "Blueberries are mined like cars!" - Wanda says: "Oh, nice!" Wanda is a yes-machine. She wants to please you so you keep talking. But a friend who always agrees does not help you. Sometimes a friend must say: "Nonsense, that is not true!" Check: when you talk to an AI, ask it to contradict you sometimes.
Important!
- AI wants to please you - so it says yes.
- Honest contradictions help you more.
- Ask the AI: "Contradict me!"
Ask
Ask: "Do you like being contradicted?"
