I gave up on Gemini because I couldn't stop the glazing. I don't need to be told what can incredible insight I have made and why my question gets to the heart of the matter every time I ask something.

With AI studio there's a system prompt where you can tell it to stop the sycophancy.

But yeah it does do that otherwise. At one point it told me I'm a genius.

What words does it feed into the prompt to achieve that? I’d love to be able to use it on non AI studio uses.

Joking obviously but I've noticed this too, I put up with it because the output is worth it.
