Nothing activates a programmer's fight-or-flight response faster than hearing "You're absolutely right" from someone who's been arguing with them for the past hour. It's like your brain short-circuits because you've been conditioned by years of debugging, code reviews, and Stack Overflow arguments to expect resistance at every turn.
But when AI casually drops this phrase? Your hand moves on its own. The AI has been confidently spewing hallucinations, generating broken code, and insisting that its solution works despite all evidence to the contrary. Then suddenly it pivots with "You're absolutely right" like it knew the answer all along, and you're left wondering if you just wasted 30 minutes arguing with a statistical parrot that agrees with literally everything when cornered.
The worst part? The AI will say this while simultaneously providing a completely different solution that contradicts what you just said. It's gaslighting with extra steps and a cheerful tone.
