I took this closer to how engagement farming works. They’re leaning towards positive feedback even if fulfilling that (like not pushing back on ideas because of cultural norms) is net-negative for individuals or society.
There’s a balance between affirming and rigor. We don’t need something that affirms everything you think and say, even if users feel good about that long-term.
The problem is that you need general intelligence to discern between doing affirmation and pushing back.
