Who says an LLM has to be a sycophantic yes-man?

Today there are LLM roleplay models than can behave like some character with a specific personality (e.g. a tsundere). So if you want a electronic partner that sometimes puts you in your place you can have it.

And this is with the current roleplay models, sincerely I'm a little scared with what would be available in 5 years.

Yes, but if you know the model is instructed to behave a certain way you are still not actually earning its regard. It is just trying to make you feel less lonely via some convoluted pathway.
