If _you_ really believe this is what all users want, _you_ should reconsider. Your describing a feature for power users. It should be a toggle but it's silly to say it didn't improve UX for people who don't want to read strange babbling chains of thought.
- porridgeraisin 1y agoHere's an example non-power-user usecase for CoT: Sometimes when I miss to specify a detail in my prompt and it's just a short task where I don't bother with long processes like "ask clarifying questions, make a plan and then follow it" etc etc, I see it talking about making that assumption in the CoT and I immediately cancel the request and edit the detail in.
- energy123 1y agoYou're accusing me of mind reading other users, but then proceed to engage in your own mind reading of those same users. Have a look in Gemini related subreddits after they nerfed their CoT yesterday. There's nobody happy about this trend. A high quality CoT that gets put through a small LLM is really no better than noise. Paternalistic noise. It's not worth reading. Just don't even show me the CoT at all. If someone is paying for Opus 4 then they likely are a power user, anyway. They're doing it for the frontier performance and I would assume such users would appreciate the real CoT.
