Excellent point. It’s bad for humans when humans do it! Imagine the perfect sycophant, never tires or dies, never slips, never pulls a bad facial expression, can immediately swerve their thoughts to match yours with no hiccups.

It was a danger for tyrants and it’s now a danger for the lonely.

South Park isn't for everyone, but they covered this pretty well recently with Randy Marsh going on a sycophant bender.
