Analysts, enthusiasts, and industry observers are watching closely to see how this story develops.<\/p>\n<p>This update adds another signal to a fast-moving sector where product decisions, platform changes, and competition can quickly shape the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Consult AI, but keep it discreet or lose a vital professional relationship<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here\u2019s how it works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">A new study from Monash Business School has claimed professional advisors feel offended when clients use AI to get a second opinion on their recommendations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The research, published in Computers in Human Behaviour, found professionals become less motivated to work with clients who consult AI tools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">This effect persists even when the client only uses AI for background information, or as a complementary resource rather than a replacement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">\u201cAdvisors view AI as substantially inferior to themselves; thus, being placed in the same category as an AI platform feels insulting and signals disrespect, undermining advisors&#8217; willingness to engage,\u201d Associate Professor Gerri Spassova, the lead author, said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Imagine spending an hour helping a client plan a complex trip, carefully mapping out flights, hotels, and itineraries \u2014 only for that client to take your recommendations and book everything through an AI chatbot instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Researchers found professionals who lost business to an AI were far less willing to work with that client again looking ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Clients who consult AI may be seen as less competent and less warm by the advisors they approach for help.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.75em auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%\"><img class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/gamingtodaynews.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cpgLAB7MgkaHC9E4jETfVm-1920-80.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;width:auto;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">When clients defer to AI, it prompts advisors to question the value of their own human contribution, and this may get worse as AI gets better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Many advisors take offense at this, and it is the major reason why they pull back from clients who consult AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">\u201cOne can only speculate,\u201d Associate Professor Spassova said. \u201cMy intuition is that the situation will not get much better. Firstly, because professional advisors\u2019 jobs are on the line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">\u201cAlso, as AI gets better, it may threaten our sense of worth and self-regard, and so when clients defer to AI, it would prompt advisors to question the value of their human contribution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The study suggests for new client advisor relationships, people should not disclose that they consulted AI before the meeting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">A long history of working together might weaken the negative reaction, but even then, the advisor may still feel cheated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">This applies to doctors, lawyers, and other professionals whose expertise clients might fact-check with AI tools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">A doctor who spent years training does not want to be second-guessed by a patient who spent five minutes on ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">AI tools usually give a general overview of a situation and are very likely to make mistakes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.75em auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%\"><img class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/gamingtodaynews.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diM9tpwF2Lz85R8q85CT78-676-80-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;width:auto;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Its judgment is highly dependent on the amount of information you supply, and if you are not detailed enough, its response can be misleading.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Also, AI gives responses to questions based on the way it is asked, and users can easily influence an AI tool to tell them what they want to hear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Considering these nuances, it would be unfair to judge a professional with years of study and experience based on an uncertain tool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">There is absolutely no need to throw it in the face of a professional that you have consulted AI because it creates a sense of \u201clack of trust\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Until professional norms adjust to the presence of AI, clients would be wise to keep their fact checking private or risk damaging professional relationships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Efosa has been writing about tech innovation for over 7 years, initially driven by curiosity but now fueled by a strong passion for the field.
