AI overly affirms users asking for personal advice— Not only are AIs far more agreeable than humans when advising on interpersonal matters, but users also prefer the sycophantic models. (news.stanford.edu)

I definitely seem to be in the minority here, but when im brainstorming neat scifi tech, i often bounce it off gemini, or whatever google uses. It very often corrects me on my misunderstandings, i have had it halucinate a couple times but were mostly operating on logic, so its failings are easy to spot. Its generally more than happy to tell me im wrong, so its useful as a baseline.
