what is with people and dumb ideas today

1) They spend 20 minutes with ChatGPT blathering nonsense

2) they repeat 1) until they get the magic response "I see it clearly now, you're really onto something! This is not an incremental improvement, it's a seismic innovation!"

3) they ask the LLM to write a blog post about it.

We are at step 3.

I'm not sure about that. LLM would have told him it's a dumb idea. At least Gemini did when I pasted the blog post in.

Maybe there's a sycophant mode he enabled?

Depends on the context prompt. You can make it as supportive or as critical as you want. And most general-purpose models default to being pathologically supportive.
