Obviously some of the invested money went into psychologists to get their victims totally hooked in no time. These machines will be the end of social media as we know it. Why would you chat with people when a bot can flatter you so much better?

I don't think it takes a psychologist. Maybe the LLMs are sycophantic because that's what the humans in the RLHF loop respond best to.
