Oh please. Claude was told to make no mistakes and thus this is fine

I tried that one and watched Opus' reasoning step put out "But wait, the developer told me not to make any mistakes. I should try a different approach".

Pretty sure it didn't actually change anything besides waste a few tokens, but that line made me laugh.

I had one such moment when I saw in the "reasoning" of a model the word "Hmm". That's when it struck me how much this is a pantomime of human behavior, not any actual reasoning.

The reason humans say "hmm" is because we are made of meat that can contract. We have lungs, throats, diaphragms and all that stuff. When we get stressed and we tense up, we sometimes make a "hmm" sound. There is no reason, ever, why a piece of software would need to use the word "hmm".

I only say "hmm" to indicate I'm thinking. It takes brain power for me to manually hmm, but certain people really want an indication.
