Actually, it's not just ChatGPT—most of the LLMs I use tend to flatter users by default. - Recently, Claude Code's catchphrase has been 'Perfect!'—it often comes as the first sentence. Its opening lines frequently include exclamation marks. - Gemini 3 Pro sometimes starts with a compliment before diving into specific issues. - ChatGPT's default style is still quite flattering, but you can adjust the basic tone in the personalization settings. For example, you can choose 'Professional and Reliable' or 'Tech Enthusiast,' which is much better. https://newshacker.me/story?id=46030799
