Perhaps have it not scroll down as it generates the text? Invariably I have to scroll back to the top to start reading. You could have a mini-hud (growing line, with a small rectangle at the top showing the first page of text) which would let you see at a glance how much text is being generated, without interrupting reading. Or not; ChatGPT just keeps on vibrating the phone (iOS app) during text gen, with hovering arrow in the middle-bottom as a shortcut to jump to the end.

> ChatGPT just keeps on vibrating the phone (iOS app)

I'd hate that. YouTube turned on vibration (a subtle tap) for videos whenever it reached automatically generated "key concepts" in (some) videos, with no option to disable it[1] so I had to finally disable all vibration on the phone:

Settings -> Accessibility -> Touch -> Vibration (off)

You can turn the haptic feedback off in the app, which is what I did. It doesn’t convey useful feedback, just lain annoying.
