Greatly varies by the model, but such a flat denial along with calling those with different (verifiably accurate [0]) opinions different from yours "the anti-AI crew" and just assuming they can't possible use LLMs and have formed their opinions on evidence, well, says a lot.
LLMs, even frontier models by major providers, still have no reliable internalised way to assess the accuracy of their output and they have, do and will continue to for the foreseeable future, lead people down paths they shouldn't, partly by their architecture and the limits of the technology, partly by an intent for maximising retention.
For what it's worth on people, I have, both in politics and business, unfortunately made the painful discovery that, whether intentional (because they cannot deal with push back) or unintentionally (because those with less pushback simply managed to make themselves otherwise valuable over the years), there are people in (financial, political or other types of) power which are surrounded by few willing to tell them when they are wrong, which often affects their personality and mental health negatively.

I think that it depends on which bot, and how they are set up.
It's been a while, but I remember changing a setting on mine, so it is less sycophantic.
Mine says "I don't know," frequently, and also suggests against ideas.
But it also confidently states complete garbage, much more frequently. I have to stay on my toes.
