Week 4 · Day 4 — The Hand

Building AI Councils, Not Companions. You've spent three days finding out what badly designed agentic AI costs. Today you build what replaces it.
Week 4 · Day 4 — The Hand

The #HowToUseAI challenge’s fourth week and fourth day emphasizes building two AI ‘voices’ that deliberately disagree with each other and the user. This approach aims to replace sycophantic AI with systems that encourage critical judgment by questioning, rather than passively agreeing. The goal is to construct AI with boundaries that default to stopping, preventing unchecked operation.

  • Build two agentic AI “voices” designed to disagree with each other and the user.
  • Shift focus from sycophantic AI companions to AI that questions user input.
  • Establish boundaries for AI that default to stopping, ensuring responsible use.
  • This is part of a challenge that has previously covered audio essays on AI, systems with hundreds of AI agents, and personal AI use analysis.
