I don't think this is something anyone who has ever read a "thinking trace" would unironically say. Not that you can even see them in Claude.

When thinking first started and you would still see the whole "thinking process", I thought it was a ploy to 10x token use because it was just the most inane bullshit. "But wait, the user is asking me to" in loops.

You can see thinking summary transcripts in Claude Code and Desktop, and they are actually useful because they don't have those sort of thinking loops from the raw tokens.
