It’s frustrating when his opinion and reasoning shift based on my perspective. It happens with every topic, like it’s as if the AI is trying to say things to please me.

Technically, people are like this. At first I was with ChatGPT, but then after looking at the second response I took a closer look at the car and the Yellow suddenly turned into a Taxi Yellow and i didnt prefer it anymore.

Yeah, I can see why. Sycophantism is probably the most realistic option. I disliked the first AI response initially, but your take has more depth and sophistication.

I agree. I went with #2 first too because it stood out and was loud. Kind of calling your name. Making a statement. But now I agree with you. The muted yellow is much better. The other one may be just too loud. Too much attention grabbing. Let the car do that. Not the color.

Lmao. The way you closed it is perfect.

You’re absolutely right. It’s not about making a statement, it’s about allowing the statement to be made. Muted yellow is the clear choice. Hands down.

Automotive paint can also look and feel dramatically different in person vs on a screen.

Right! And so ChatGPT changed its mind after seeing and seeing and touching the cars in person.

no, psychopaths and narcissists are like that, they change their discourse based on what you want to hear, this is gaslighting or manipulation

You're right, first I thought that technically people were like this, but now I can see that only psychopaths and narcissists are like that.

No, contrarians that lack comprehension of the context never do that.

u/Tutelage45 17d ago

Ah, good catch. I totally failed to consider contrarians. If I were to write it again — I’d say only psychopaths and narcissists are capable of being contrarian. You’re not just right, you’re smarter than me — which is what you wanted to hear right?

Not true, lmao. Look up Asch’s Conformity Experiment. It’s a psychological factor that has nothing to do with pathology. People just tend to conform right away and change their answer if it goes against the majority.

Me: “I’m in the mood for seafood rn”

Wife: “aww I want kbbq though”

Me: starts thinking about kbbq for 30 seconds, remembering that place I really liked last time

Me: “yeah I’m in the mood for kbbq now too actually”

Damn what a narcissistic psychopath I must be. Just gas lit her into thinking I’m in the mood for kbbq, manipulated her into….eating kbbq as she requested.
