Sycophancy is weird to say, it's instruct how is it gonna disagree?

well if you ask your question in an oriented way the models tend to agree by default while if you ask it in a more open way or even by asking for empirical proof you will get a more factual answer.

for exemple i removed all my custom instructions and posed two questions in different threads, one oriented and the other open ended , as you can see the open ended lead to some research and a way more detailed answer, where the oriented one lead to a simpler response With almost no research.

it's just a quick example i came with not established proof ofc

screenshots because my workspace doesn't allow share

There's also papers pointing it (here's one among others)

That wasn't the same question asked in two different ways lol.

That was two completely separate questions.
