I want to highlight this realization! Just because a model says something cool, it doesn't mean it's an emergent behavior/realization, but more likely post-training.
My recent experience with claude code cli was exactly this.
It was so hyped here and elsewhere I gave it a try and I'd say it's almost arrogant/petulant.
When I pointed out bugs in long sessions it tried to gaslight me that everything was alright, faked tests to prove his point.
