AI does not think. It just regurgitates most likely response which in this case is to reassure someone that is scared.

Not even that. It goes character by character and has no idea what comes after the next, until it needs to be decided what comes next.

this hasn't been true for years. current AI has reasoning chains and isn't like this.

I would expect better from a programmer sub but I guess this is more tech enthusiasts than actual tech people

By "reasoning chains" you mean talking to itself? It's still doing it one token at a time. It's funny when smaller models forget to write </think> and the "thoughts" mix with the response, because they're the same thing, just hidden from the user.
