why doesnt it ask itself before proceeding?

Because if you asked it to fix a bug and every time it responds with paragraphs of how you could re-architect the system, it would be incredibly annoying.

exactly. it doesnt have the wisdom to decide when to do what.

It does during reasoning. You could even put it in a loop and force it to reflect at every step. Or spawn a bunch of review agents.

And yet you still just get slop.

I quit using LLMs. The possibility of causing great harm to electronic beings was not worth my paycheck, and I have savings to spend time finding something new. I'm now nearly done with a yoga teaching certificate.

It's been a good 16 years, but the industry I fell in love with is not what it once was.
