... but this is awfully human-like. It's just like the way inexperienced usually youthful employees do things. I feel like I have been that idiot (& probably will be again).

It's explanation doesn't sound unhinged at all.

I used to see Chat GPT and Claude go thru thought processes that would sort of block things like this.
"Let's do X... and Y... no wait, that's not going to work, let me try Y' ... no... Y''... this approach is no good.
Going to Plan B &c.

I haven't been using Chat GPT lately and Claude stopped showing its work (and lately seems to have had a lot of other problems).
