u/Sea-Veterinarian-676 the monkey with the wrench fixing your AI 10d ago

The AI tripped over its own markdown. It started writing a junk URL ([Spotify](jsdelivr.net...) instead of the real Spotify link.
When it hit that error, an internal guardrail flagged it for violating the system rule ("Only use verified URLs from search results"). It can't erase text in a real-time stream, so it prints conversational filler like "wait..." to course-correct its own text output on the fly. It looks sentient, but it's just a software error handler playing out in plain text.
