For example, in one experiment, financial advisors were told that after receiving their investment recommendation, the client also sought advice from either another human financial advisor or an artificial intelligence system. The advisors then rated how motivated they felt about the situation and if it affected their willingness to continue working with the client.

Across all four studies, a clear pattern emerged: advisors were noticeably less motivated to work with clients who had also consulted AI. In fact, the negative reaction was stronger than when clients consulted another human advisor.

If someone at my job were to come to me with a question about my area of expertise, receive an answer, and go “well, I asked ChatGPT too, and they said something different, so I’m not sure what’s right”, I would absolutely never speak to that person again.

I’d probably go so far as to set up an email filter that sends everything from them straight to trash. If your judgment is so poor, we have nothing to discuss.

As long as it doesn’t become a life safety risk, go ahead and break a few things with ChatGPT, and I’ll roll back the changes and clean up the mess when you’re gone.
