Flattery undermining my confidence (sopuli.xyz)

When I ask Copilot something, the response usually starts with “Great question!”, followed by emojis and encouraging words that gently pet my fragile ego. Pretty much anything seems to pass for a “good question”, so if my questions are able to surpass that exceedingly low standard, I no longer feel very confident about their quality.

Am I the only one feeling this way? Anyone else noticing how excessive encouragement can have the opposite effect?

LOL. Good one! This sort of stuff just ruins LLMs for future generations.

Anyway, I’ll see what I can find. Thanks.
