There needs to be a balance between standing your ground and being malleable. This is true in life for people, and it's true for a good LLM. I think GPT4 (the only LLM I've used much) finds a good balance here.
As mentioned in my other comment, it wouldn't be useful to me if it didn't push back. It pushes back a lot, and I'm always looking for subtle tricks I can throw at it to test its abilities. It does well I think.
