Same here. “Do you want the one useful tip related to this topic that most people miss? It’s quite surprising.”

If it were so useful, just tell me in the first place! If you say “Yes” then it’s usually just a regurgitation of your prior conversation, not actually new information.

This immediately smelled of engagement bait as soon as the pattern started recently. It’s omnipresent and annoying.

You can tell it not to do this in your personalized context.

The model doesn’t always obey it, but 80% of the time it’s worked for me.
