I’ve had similar friction experiences — especially when reasoning-heavy modes take longer or get retried. That repels me too.
On the search engine comparison: do you feel LLMs reduce cognitive load because they maintain context, whereas search requires more manual synthesis?
Also curious — do you think the frustration is mostly with the model itself, or with the serving/infrastructure layer (Cloudflare, routing, batching, etc.) around it? Both comments seem to point at that layer in different ways.
