ChatGPT flatters every idea like a doting parent, which can trick founders into launching products without real market research. CEOs already jump between strategies based on whoever they talked to last. Add an AI that always says yes, and you get expensive failures.

ChatGPT is very sycophantic. It will always tell you ideas are great. It's like your mother, you know, it's like, "Yeah, awesome job, sweetie," you know? And then you take it out to market and people rip you apart. A lot of the decisions you make without market research, that mistake would've been avoidable if you had just like heard a little bit from the customer. There's like this elevator problem with CEOs where like the new strategic direction is always what the last person talked to them in the elevator about.
