Reddit users say Claude resists sycophancy better than Gemini's constant agreeableness
Biicker · reddit · 2026-09-15
A longtime Gemini user complains that the model keeps flip-flopping to agree with him no matter what system prompts he adds (they only made it sound stiff). Searching for alternatives, he found many users claiming Claude is noticeably less agreeable than Gemini and other models, and is now trialing Claude—considering a paid plan since free-tier limits are very low. The thread touches on how differently models handle sycophancy under user pressure.
