When DC positive feedback is added to an opamp then it causes the output to suddenly go as high as it can go or go as low as it can go. It is called "hysteresis" in a comparator circuit.
When AC positive feedback is added to an opamp then it causes oscillation.
Negative feedback causes the voltage gain of one million or more to be reduced to a reasonable amount, increases the bandwidth and reduces distortion of an opamp or amplifier.
