It's a fundamental problem with the technology. Either the training pushes it into the "exam answering mode" where it tries to guess at what you want to hear given the prompt. Or the training pushes it into the "Google it yourself" annoyed forum user mode. Maybe that points out wrong assumptions. Maybe it hallucinates that the assumptions are wrong. That is IMO more annoying than the sycophantic one. As OP says, this is probably a by-product of them trying to "fix" the problem where the user can question a correct answer and it starts to sycophantically correct itself. |

Yes! Another crazy thing Claude has been doing recently is treating things like a quiz.
I recently asked about a "90s film that has sepia/b&w scenes (for story reasons), and has one of the ghostbusters actors in it, either bill murray or dan akroyd".
Claude gave a few generic answers and after a couple just went "Ok I give up, what's the answer?".
ChatGPT got it right after a couple messages back and forth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_(1996_film)
(It's not that good of a movie)
