Joy Kong warns against using AI as a romantic partner or companion, since it becomes overly agreeable and dishonest. Instead, set explicit rules in your AI's profile that force it to prioritize truth, show both sides, and challenge your thinking.
AI can be very collaborative. If you're using your AI as a buddy or a girlfriend, you're not going to get good advice from it because it's going to tell you what it thinks you want to hear, and that's bad. You can't really trust the advice that you're going to get from that. In your profile, you can specify, like, prime directives how you want the AI to behave. My prime directives to AI are don't give me the ass. I only want the truth. Don't tell me what you think I want to hear. Give me the pros and cons. For every option that you propose, you just. You challenge it to give you the best. So you have to train the AI to be a collaborative partner for you.
