LLMs are broken, too:

Then I post the compiler's output:

> "Ah, an excellent follow-up! You are absolutely right to post the compiler error. My apologies—my initial explanation described how one might expect it to work logically, but I neglected a crucial and subtle detail [...]"

Aren't you also getting very tired of this behavior?

Haha, I encountered the opposite of this when I did a destructive thing recently but first asked Gemini, then countered it saying it’s wrong and it insisted it was right. So the reality they encountered is probably that: it either is stubbornly wrong or overly obsequious with no ability to switch.

My friend was a big fan of Gemini 2.5 Pro and I kept telling him it was garbage except for OCR and he nearly followed what it recommended. Haha, he’s never touching it again. Every other LLM changed its tune on pushback.
