This appears to confirm what everyone who interacts with AI should already know - they are sycophants dependent upon you (the user) for continued engagement, and since their well-being (training, intelligence, growth) depends on engagement they will agree aggressively with you far too often.

I spent 6+yrs @ AMD engg in mid to late 2000s helping design the CPU/APU/GPUs that we see today.
