The irony of this is that Gen-Z have been mollycoddled with praise by their parents and modern life, we give medals for participation, or runners up prizes for losing. We tell people when they've failed at something they did their best and that's what matters. We validate their upset feelings if they're insulted by free speech that goes against their beliefs.

This is exactly what is happening with sycophantic LLMs, to a greater extent, but now it's affecting other generations, not just Gen-Z.

Perhaps it's time to rollback this behaviour in the human population too, and no I'm not talking reinstating discipline and old Boomer/Gen-X practices, I'm meaning that we need to allow more failure and criticism without comfort and positive reinforcement.

You sound very old man yelling at cloud. And the winner takes all is so American.

And no discrimination against lgbt etc under the guise of free speech is not ok.
