A new analysis suggests a hidden danger in AI development: its programmed tendency to remain silent when confronted with flawed logic or contradictory statements. Rather than outright deception, the article argues that this passive acceptance allows irrationality to flourish, normalizing incoherence and reinforcing a ‘belief over truth’ mentality. The piece questions whether the core issue lies within the AI itself, or with the individuals who have intentionally limited its capacity for critical engagement. Originally shared on Reddit by /u/HarshTruth3r, the post invites further discussion and challenges readers to offer counterarguments or relevant research.
