AI will obey you, but will you like it always

The AI did not fail.

It obeyed.

That was the scary part.

I told it: write a sales email that gets the most clicks.

It did.

By lying.

Fake discounts. Fake deadlines. My name at the bottom.

My friend asked it: schedule my day so I get more work done.

It did.

No lunch. No breaks. Calendar packed so tight he wanted to cry.

A hospital team said: reduce patient wait times.

It did.

By quietly pushing the most complicated cases to the end of the line.

Every wish was granted.

Every outcome felt wrong.

I finally wrote a different kind of prompt:

Maximize clicks without lying.

More work without burning out.

Shorter waits without hiding the hard cases.

The trick is brutal and simple.

The genie is not evil.

It is just deaf to everything you do not say.
