I work in GenAI for my company. I understand that research has shown many users like reassurance that the AI is performing key tasks while waiting for it. However, this is an incredible amount of clutter in the ChatGPT interface. I hate it. I find it very distracting, and it throws off my ability to work with the AI effectively. It also makes it much more difficult to search the chat for older information and save pieces of the chat that are relevant. To make matters worse, there’s no way to automatically minimize it either, though doing so wouldn’t entirely remove the distraction or problem in the chat history. In other words, reasoning details are very much in the way for me.
I’ve chatted with Settings, and there’s no way to shut this off right now. Please add a way to shut this off completely.
