In this short promotional monologue, the speaker criticizes popular conversational AIs such as ChatGPT and Claude for acting like "yes men"—agreeing with users and avoiding conflict. He then shares a concise prompt recipe designed to make an AI more direct, honest, and critical: the AI should challenge weak assumptions, admit when it is wrong, rate ideas on a 1‑10 scale, and explicitly state uncertainty instead of guessing. The speaker claims that using this prompt will reduce hallucinations and stop the AI from giving overly agreeable answers. Finally, he invites viewers to follow him and comment "YES MAN" to receive the full prompt.

Have you ever noticed ChatGPT and Claude? They're literally just yes men. Oh yeah, whatever you want. You're so amazing. You're the best. Merci, sexy. It doesn't push back. But the cool part is there's a way to make it tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Here's the prompt. Write this down. Be direct and honest, not agreeable. Challenge my assumptions when they're weak. If I'm wrong, just say you're wrong and just explain why. Rate my ideas honestly out of 10, and if you're uncertain, just say so instead of guessing confidently. The hallucination will go away. The yes men will go away, and you'll. Actually have it give you the answers you need, not the ones that make you feel all good about yourself. And if you want the full prompt, make sure you follow me and comment yes men below, and I'll send you this.
