A Reddit user argues the real value of a good AI assistant isn't obedience but occasionally being the voice that flags holes in your plan. He shares a recent case where Claude warned a quick hacky fix would bite him later; he ignored it in a rush and it bit him in exactly six days. He invites other "annoyingly right" refusal stories.
