I was just thinking about how LLM agents are both unabashedly confident (Perfect, this is now production-ready!) and sycophantic when contradicted (You're absolutely right, it's not at all production-ready!)
It's a weird combination and sometimes pretty annoying. But I'm sure it's preferable over "confidently wrong and doubling down".
A while back there was a "roast my Instagram" fad. I went to the agent and asked it to roast my Instagram without providing anything else. It confidently spit out a whole thing. I said how did you know that was me? It said something like "You're right! I didn't! I just made that up!"
Really glad they have the gleeful psycho persona nailed.
