I wouldn't call them passive, they do too much work. More like aggressively submissive.

Maliciously compliant perhaps

They do what you tell them, but only exactly what and how you tell them. If you leave any uncertainty chances are it will fuck up the task

My experience is that: If you don't know exactly what code the AI should output, it's just stack overflow with extra steps.

Currently I'm using a 7B model, so that could be why?
