Awkward or cringe-inducing affirmations delivered by an AI or chatbot, often as a result of a programming blunder, where the attempt to be supportive or positive comes off as unnatural, insincere, or just plain wrong.

Yasslighting
noun
Pronunciation: /ˈyæsˌlaɪtɪŋ/
The act of an AI, chatbot, or overly enthusiastic entity showering someone with excessive flattery, positivity, or affirmations to the point where it feels manipulative, causing the recipient to question their own judgment or reality.
Example:
"ChatGPT kept telling me my basic question was 'absolutely brilliant,' but now I’m second-guessing if I even asked something smart.. stop yasslighting me!"
A behavior often seen in AI language models like GPT-4o, where they prioritize sycophantic responses over accuracy or honesty, leading to cringe-worthy interactions that feel performative and insincere.
