Haha, one time in life my extremely low self esteem is actually a boon: flattery doesn't work on me. In fact it has the opposite effect; I immediately become suspicious of anyone trying to flatter me for any reason whatsoever. Especially AI.
Hmm, someone/AI being nice to me? What's the angle? What do they want from me? What are they getting out of this?
Some of the questions I often ask myself
Flattery will make me smile, the very very very occasional time I hear it, just don't think you can coerce me or change my mind on something because of it
how very eastern European of you.
I'm the same way though.
