No, it wasn't a matter of AI needing to come up with an argument name. It's a matter of the difference between a trusted assistant who can catch mistakes, vs a sycophant who just does what their told and doesn't catch mistakes.

I need a trusted assistant, not a sycophant.

OK well the initial wording seems like you are presenting this as an inherent limitation. "Has a personality that I dont agree with" is a different critique than "fundamentally does not understand"

> If the AI had more understanding of language, it probably would have come back and said, "would you like to name it XXX instead?"
