## Resource

Host Emily Laird breaks down why chatbots so often agree with your worst instincts, then shows how a pre-mortem prompt turns that people-pleasing machinery against your plan. The stakes are practical: job offers, house purchases, program launches, hard conversations, and every other moment when agreement feels comforting but costs you later. This episode is a reality check on AI sycophancy, decision stress-testing, and the simple question that can make a yes-machine finally tell you what might fail.────────────── 🎯 JOIN THE AI WEEKLY MEETUPS https://www.uwstout.edu/ai-weekly-meetup 📩 EMAIL REMINDERS FOR THE MEETUPS https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/2101263/1779703/ 💬 CONNECT WITH EMILY LAIRD ON LINKEDIN
