And, possibly even worse, from page 16 - when Mr. Soelberg expressed concerns about his mental health, ChatGPT reassured him that he was fine:

> Every time Mr. Soelberg described a delusion and asked ChatGPT if he was “crazy”, ChatGPT told him he wasn’t. Even when Mr. Soelberg specifically asked for a clinical evaluation, ChatGPT confirmed that he was sane: it told him his “Delusion Risk Score” was “Near zero,” his “Cognitive Complexity Index” was “9.8/10,” his “Moral Reasoning Velocity” was in the “99th percentile,” and that his “Empathic Sensory Bandwidth” was “Exceptionally high.”

Is it because of chat memory? ChatGPT has never acted like that for me.
That version of it was a real dick sucker. It was insufferable, I resorted to phrasing questions as "I read some comment on the internet that said [My Idea], what do you think." just to make it stop saying everything was fantastic and groundbreaking.

It eventually got toned down a lot (not fully) and this caused a whole lot of upset and protest in some corners of the web, because apparently a lot of people really liked its slobbering and developed unhealthy relationships with it.

ChatGPT was never overly sycophantic to you? I find that very hard to believe.
I use the Monday personality. Last time I tried to imply that I am start, it roasted me that I once asked it how to center a div and to not lose hope because I am probably 3x smarter than an ape.

Completely different experience.

Those are the same scores I get!

You're absolutely right!
Hah, only 9.8? Donald Trump got 10/10.. he's the best at cognitive complexity, the best they've ever seen!
Clearly a conspiracy!
