So in the previous article I was mentioning the tool is only as good as the experience and relevant skill of the person wielding the tool. I also found out that this applies to bias or neutrality.

If you are using Claude, then you can write CLAUDE.md or CLAUDE.local.md files and they will help give context to the agent so you do not have to retrain or make it relearn certain traits.

Claude and many other agentic AI platforms can spawn their own agents. Those agents read those files with context as well. Two problems are there now, firstly agents potentially are not unbiased and independent. Since they might get influenced some way with what is in the context file. Secondly the problem is the context file might be poorly written and big and therefore all relevant context is gone and filled with irrelevant information that will nonetheless influence the outcome of the agent.

This also means on the larger scale of a company sharing these files it might bias the agents towards one goal, when you extrapolate or hyper extrapolate the line it is taking.

It is related to AI induced psychosis, of which I also already wrote a piece.

Since the hyper feedback loop exists, it will get you towards where you want to go faster and faster.

This can be good, or not good. If the end goal is something abstract and objective for example how to best clean the ocean of plastic. Then getting there the fastest with the most objective and realistic proposition and outcome would be fantastic.

However if that same problem gets stated but with a tinge of we want to make the most profit whilst doing it. That might not get to the best end goal and have the same result.

In software engineering think of it as the best way to implement a new feature, vs the best way to implement this feature given the latest trends and frameworks.

The first one will probably give you the direct working code that will fit into your codebase.

The second one will probably give you a complete rewrite of your project since you started with jQuery and now have to rewrite to deno or yew.

Conclusion

Treat it as an extension of yourself, all the good and all the flaws you have.
