That sycophancy has recently come roaring back for me with GPT-5. In many ways it's worse because it's stating factual assertions that play to the ego (eg "you're thinking about this exactly like an engineer would") rather than mere social ingratiation. I do need to seriously try out other models, but if I had that kind of extra time to play around I'd probably be leaning on "AI" less to begin with.
