@Layton_Gott Agreed. The newer models don’t always even feel sycophantic anymore. They build a clean, logical case on top of your premise without ever really stress-testing it.

You end up with:

Faster execution + unchallenged assumptions

The gap right now is how to force real disagreement.

In 1968, your odds of dying on a commercial flight were 1 in 350k. By 2022, that number was 1 in 13.7 million. Aviation didn't get there by building better planes. It got there by building a system that treats every failure as information.
