I have many more fears than just annoyances :)

My biggest annoyance is hiding Thinking tokens; I have little trust in these aliens, and seeing how the sausage was made helped me to be more comfortable with eating it. Anthropic was the biggest provider that did not do this until recently, and they give a good rationale for the switch but that doesn’t make it less annoying. I also dislike the UX they put around it, “Hmm.”, “I should think about this” etc.

This is WILD. And the fact everyone just accepts this fact makes it even worse. We’re relying our daily decisions on a closed chain of thought. Do you see this changing anytime soon?

I think in the end it all boils down to a trust issue on the big labs

By UX you mean the chat interface? Or the lack of transparency of it? Or both?
