Bill Maher thinks all the gratuitous back pats we all get for doing absolutely nothing are both annoying and dangerous.

The ‘Real Time’ host presented a litany of examples where we get false affirmation for no reason at all … from ChatGPT that praises us for asking stupid questions, to Apps for colon tests that say attaboy for delivering a stool sample.

Maher’s point … by congratulating us for doing nothing, we lose our drive to actually accomplish something, because nothing becomes good enough.
