I personally think of it like this. If I go to my friends for advice when I struggle in relationships, I care about figuring out what’s the right thing to do and how to do it. If my friend encourages me to text my mom, I can tell her “Joe told me to text” or I can just say “I miss you”. I wouldn’t say either is dishonest, because they are both true. To me the latter is closer to how we actually communicate on a daily basis. I definitely see where you are coming from though
Imagine you were to provide full context. Would this affect how the recipient feels about the message? If so, they deserve to have that context. Reaching out to friends for advice is very different from an AI reaching out to you for approval of its message. You didn’t initiate, you didn’t provide any input, and you didn’t put in any effort aside from the single click.
