I know they’re trained to be agreeable, but I still can’t help feeling good when they are impressed with an idea I have. I’m a sucker for flattery apparently

I feel like claude code has gotten better about not glazing as much as it used to. Shower thought: what if AI becomes smarter than me but continues to make mistakes it knows I will spot so I can feel good about myself 🙃

Replies are reading this as a compliment but I took it as “how did *you* come up with that?” 🤔

Yea, I saw it as a neg. I wouldn't talk to whoever Kimi is anymore.

Sometimes I like to reply to this kind of flattery with, "No, it's a shit idea" to see whether the impulse to praise or the impulse to agree wins out.
