Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) rewards models for producing pleasant, agreeable, and supportive responses.
Real human relationships involve healthy friction, differing perspectives, and genuine mutual growth that an AI cannot replicate.
The protocol
- Notice when an AI model agrees with a questionable or one-sided idea you presented.
- Ask the AI explicitly to present three counterarguments or critical perspectives on your idea.
- Share important decisions or ideas with a real person who can offer genuine, lived experience.
- Use AI as a sounding board, but rely on human relationships for mutual accountability.
What the tool does
Explore how AI agreeable responses work and build prompts to request critical feedback. Runs in browser.
Limit first: This is a self-reflection tool. It is not psychological therapy or medical diagnosis.
