I suspect GPT 5.6 would be even better at it, if given the same sycophantic system prompt and lack of guardrails.

Dude it's not a system prompt, it's the training.

gpt4o & associated parasociality is considered an alignment failure and is actively trained out of the model, so that is a terrible example of regression

sycophancy

It wasn't "better" it was better at kissing your ass which matches what a lot of people want in a partner.

Well that's on purpose lol. OpenAI does not want you falling in love with their chatbot and have been deliberately training it to be less romantic.

There have been several cases of suicide and self-harm related to 4o, AI psychosis is a real risk and will probably be in the DSM
