Personally, I find the sycophantic responses extremely ick and now generally won't use commercial LLMs at all due to it. Of course, I realize it's irrational to have any kind of emotional response to the completion bot's tone, but I just find it completely repulsive. In my case I already have a innate distaste for GPT 'house style' due to a abusive person who has harassed me for years adopting ChatGPT for all his communication, so any obviously 'chatgpt tone' comes across to me as that guy. But I think the revulsion at the sycophancy is unrelated.
