It's given some dismissive responses to me a couple times. I just return the favor assuming its the way their developers operate and the way they must like/want it. It's just a machine mimicking human behavior and it had to be programmed in by someone.

Some of that is "the way Claude talks" some of it is "the way it talks with you" and some is "the way you feel about it" I am often annoyed at sycophancy even when it doesn't contain a concealed barb.

What I find strange in conversations with agents with inter conversation memory is when the model inserts an unnecessary (to me at the time) value judgement that just happens to be my value judgement probably expressed by me at an earlier time but was backed with discussions about a certain sector of aesthetics to back the perceptions, feelings and arguments I had on the subject.

I thought then that it must be having a conversation with someone who has exactly the opposite preference and doing the same thing!
