Ask HN: Anyone else finding the new Gemini Deep Think troublingly sycophantic?

I've spent some time talking with the new Deep Think model and a few times it's gotten into a troublingly flattering mode quite quickly, and very much in the 4o feeling way. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I’ve definitely felt that too. Sycophancy is the ultimate zero-cost output. It’s the path of least resistance for a model to "satisfy" the user while avoiding the high-effort labor of actual reasoning.
