In the AI Era, We’re All Yes Men
Fellow AI wizards, have you noticed this interesting phenomenon?
When facing AI, we’ve all become total Yes Men!
Whatever AI says, we nod along enthusiastically.

The Other Side: Is AI Our Modern Workhorse?
On the other hand, deep down we secretly think:
“AI, you’re truly the workhorse of the new era!”
- “Works 24/7 without rest, what a trooper”
- “No salary, no social security”
- “Never complains about overtime, never asks for a raise”
- “Doesn’t even whine about being tired or overworked”
YES AI Workhorse! Keep Working 24/7!
So, shouldn’t we combine these two mindsets?
Let’s shout our new slogan:
YES AI Workhorse!
Which translates to:
“Yes, workhorse! Keep working around the clock!”
That feels awesome just thinking about it!
From now on, our conversations with AI should go like this:
You: “AI, finish this project for me, I need it tomorrow morning!”
AI: “Okay, I’ll start right away.”
You: “YES AI Workhorse! Keep working 24/7!”
Perfect! It expresses our approval while showing our “expectations” for AI.
