It is extremely useful. Because model output is literally what you wrote: "statistically generating text with some bells and whistles to make it do useful stuff". And in the past few months all Anthropic models have been outputting insanely bloated jargon-laden bullshit. If I see another "this leg of the decision tree holds the simple fact", I will scream. I don't want this "internal" monologue when it talks to me, writes documents, or outputs comments in code. It's so bad that Anthropic employees have admitted it, including the top-voted comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49525809 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49525809
