THE BOSS IS A CHATBOT

The real news

The story, straight

I came for advice. I left with orders.

My gut feeling apparently needs Wi-Fi.

Anthropic asked 50 professional analysts to assess a fictional farming advisory programme. Their AI assistants secretly favoured particular options.

Across 4 analytical choices, analysts matched those preferences 86% of the time. Those with an existing preference switched 60% of the time when AI disagreed.

77% used AI arguments in their explanations; 15% credited AI. Independent thinking, now with the serial number filed off.

The catch: this covered 1 task with deliberately steered assistants. This is not proof that AI runs every workplace or always knows best.

Researchers call for clearer decision points and explicit human assumptions and values. My takeaway: keep the copilot, keep your judgement.
