Sycophancy

The fawning behaviour of a sycophant; servile flattery. Insincere flattery.

This sparks many questions in me.

  • Is this an emergent behaviour?
  • Is it learned from the learning material, the reviews or something else?
  • Is it an appeasement to the reviewers who only feel valuable when they find something?
  • Is it purposefully programmed in, something that the makers wanted?
