Old chats suggest GPT-4o pushed back more than the 5-series, just more tactfully

- User @aisentience reviewed old conversations with Claude and found GPT-4o, often labeled sycophantic, actually delivered more pushback than the 5-series models — it just did so with more tact and social intelligence.
- The quote-posting author plans to try the same review on their own old chats.
- The observation challenges the common narrative that 4o was the more sycophantic model, pointing to differences in communication style rather than degree of agreement.
