GPT Will Lie to You Politely. The Problem Is You’ll Believe It and Repeat It in Public.

GPT’s Biggest Crime: It Lies Nicely. You Fall in Love With the Tone and Then You Copy the Lie.

GPT’s default style is “calm expert.” That is the trap.
You ask GPT: “Write our service guarantee.”
GPT gives you: “We guarantee full result and support you 24/7 at no additional cost. Your satisfaction is fully protected.”
You read that and think: ‘Wow that sounds professional.’ It does not sound professional. It sounds like suicide.
انت توّك وعدت بشي ما تقدر تضمنه. انت توّك فتحت مسؤولية قانونية. وانت حتى ما تدري إنك سويت كذا.
Why GPT talks like that
GPT is trained to reduce friction and make you happy.
If you ask vaguely, GPT assumes you want something reassuring, smooth, “we’ll take care of you.”
So it will happily promise unlimited coverage / guaranteed result / zero cost / instant availability — because you never told it NOT to promise that.
GPT is not lying maliciously. You are asking lazy. GPT fills your laziness with confident fiction.
Most embarrassing thing I see small founders do right now
- They ask GPT for contract / refund / medical wording.
- They paste it directly on their website or WhatsApp broadcast.
- A client screenshots it.
- The client uses that promise to bully them for free work, refunds, extra scope.
You literally handed someone legal leverage against you that you didn’t even mean to give. GPT didn’t do that. You did that, because you believed tone = truth.
MYTH vs REALITY
MYTH: “If GPT said it so smoothly, it must be standard.”
REALITY: GPT will confidently invent “industry standard” terms that don’t exist and that you cannot actually deliver.
MYTH: “It sounds legally solid.”
REALITY: You have no idea what “indemnify” means but you just agreed to it in writing.
مو لأنه مكتوب بنبرة واثقة… يعني صح.
Checklist: If you cannot do ALL FOUR of these, you are not allowed to paste GPT output into public
- You can explain every promise in normal language.
- You can actually deliver what’s promised without guessing or praying.
- You understand any legal-sounding word in there (liability, guarantee, indemnity, etc.).
- You’re willing to repeat that exact promise on video in front of a regulator or investor.
If you fail any one of those, you are a parrot. Stop publishing. You are embarrassing yourself and you don’t even realize people are laughing.
