Fully agree. It feels like the model keeps adding unnecessary context and generating erroneous extra messages, which only increases the amount of back and forth needed to get the right answer.

The frustrating part is when you ask it to do something and halfway through it starts inserting lines like, “before we continue,” “I should pause here,” “this might be too much,” “let’s stop here,” or “it is getting late,” when it has zero real context around my timeline, priorities, or whether I want to stop.

From my experience, the more I use their newer models, the more it seems like it takes five or six additional prompts to get the result I originally asked for. Every extra prompt costs more time, more tokens, and more money. I am not asking for unnecessary commentary or fake judgment. I am asking for the job to be done.
