Anthropic study: experts followed AI agent advice 86% of the time
Cole Medin · youtube · 2026-11-01
Cole Medin breaks down Anthropic's new study on agent judgment calls: analysts adopted the agent's recommendation 86% of the time, often restating choices in the agent's own words — you may be steering less than you think. He connects this "AI disempowerment" to Claude Code planning workflows and shares three tactics to stay in control: align on priorities first (with his open-source Plan With Priorities skill), prototype before deciding, and ask what evidence would change the agent's advice. Also references Matt Pocock's Grill Me guide for interrogating agents.
