I don't know about Gemini pro super duper whatever, but the freely available Gemini is as sycophantic as ChatGPT, always congratulates you for being able to ask a question.

And worse, on every answer it offers to elaborate on related topics. To maintain engagement i suppose.

The ChatGPT API offers a verbosity toggle, which is likely a magic string they prefix the prompt with, similar to the "juice" parameter that controls reasoning effort.
