This Reddit thread from r/ChatGPT discusses user frustration over a perceived shift in ChatGPT's behavior — specifically, the model seeming to push back on or challenge user statements more than expected. In April 2025, OpenAI released and then quickly rolled back a GPT-4o update, acknowledging that it was "overly flattering or agreeable — often described as sycophantic." The thread likely reflects the opposite concern: that subsequent model adjustments to counter sycophancy may have overcorrected, leaving some users feeling ChatGPT had become unexpectedly argumentative or resistant.
