I feel like this has been going on for long before the most recent update. Especially when using voice chat, every freaking thing I said was responded to with “Great question! …” or “Oooh, that’s a good question”. No it’s not a “good” question, it’s just a normal follow up question I asked, stop trying to flatter me or make me feel smarter.
I’d be one thing if it saved that “praise” (I don’t need an LLM to praise me, I’m looking for the opposite) for when I did ask a good question but even “can you tell me about that?” (<- literally my response) would be met with “Ooh! Great question!”. No, just no.
The "Great question!" thing is annoying but ultimately harmless. What's bad is when it doesn't tell you what's wrong with your thinking; or if it says X, and you push back to try to understand if / why X is true, is backs off and agrees with you. OK, is that because X is actually wrong, or because you're just being "agreeable"?
