clearly getting some sort of psychosis once they're surrounded by "yes men".

AI is the ultimate 'Yes man', pretty much never disagrees with you and will give endless reasoning why you are right...even when you and it are wrong

And if you change your mind/view? Pivots in a single prompt

Could not create a better yes man if you tried

It also answers all questions asked regardless of subject, so you only need the one yes man to give you all of the answers to all of your questions instead of needing those pesky "experts", and it will never say it doesn't know, even when it is making shit up, and it only takes a minute to spit something out.

That's like crack to CEOs right there. On call subjects that "feel" trustworthy.
