no you're right, it can be pretty sycophantic. It sounds like a stalker or something lol. I feel like I do get more pushback w/ Deepseek than I had a year ago and it isn't quite as big of a yesman, but there's absolutely room for improvement. It'd be cool if you could eventually pre-load certain prompts to make those customizations. You can just copy paste it I guess but that sounds tedious.

Yeah that's completely normal to hate. The sycophancy used to be way worse too, now it's less so but some models are worse than others.

Google never complements you so why should AI is my somewhat cranky take
