Some people will adapt, the same way people adapted to flamebait. But even today new marks still end up taking the bait.

The more annoying issue to me is that the kind of sycophantic writing style seems to end up spreading to all LLMs. Maybe it's because they're all optimizing for lmarena or maybe because all those outputs become part of the training data. But the random bolding/italics, creepy-friendly car salesman vibe seems to be getting more common, and custom prompts seem to be getting less effective at keeping them away.
