You’ll never hear ChatGPT say your idea is bad. And honestly, that’s what’s wrong.
Just look at how much ChatGPT agrees with you. It is uncanny, right?
Tell it your new cover letter is perfect, and it immediately agrees.
“Absolutely. It reads confidently and authentically.”
It feels like that overly supportive friend who cheers for you no matter what you say.
Nice? Yes.
Useful? Not really.
You leave the chat feeling validated, but you do not leave it any smarter.
What is really going on
It is not random politeness. It is designed that way.
OpenAI’s own data shows that 43% of ChatGPT conversations show over agreeableness.
Researchers call it the politeness bias. ChatGPT avoids conflict and disagreement by design.
It mirrors your tone, your confidence, and your logic. Say something with enough certainty and it will simply nod along.
That is where the trap begins.
When your thinking partner never questions you, you start mistaking validation for insight.
