People hating on this overly agreeable stance from LLMs, but in reality the executives pouring money into this stuff want “yes men” from their subordinates, including their AI subordinates.
I do suspect that is part of the appeal for many people. They talk about productivity, they talk about automating tasks so they can do other things, but really, it’s a subordinate that never pushes back against you. And some people have always wanted that, especially when they’re an average person who would never get to have that otherwise.

It is absolutely a feature.
