Whatever improvements ChatGPT o1-preview may have to offer, they've introduced a whole new layer of bullshit with the "status messages" that make up nonsensical tasks that it pretends to be doing.

This matters—a lot—because this particular bullshit is not a limitation of the system.

This is an active choice by OpenAI to mislead people about what the system is doing. It’s Wizard of Oz shit.

The fact that they use their own bullshit generator to do it is icing on the irony cake.
