Get the Yasslighting mug.A portmanteau of “yassify” and massacre meaning to alter something or someone until it is nearly unrecognizable, as in a standard yassification, but in an arguably or definitively negative way. The perpetrator and/ or subject of the yassacre may or may not be aware of this negative perception.

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.
