Comparison: OpenAI Overcomplicates, DeepSeek and Claude Get It Done
Not-Random · reddit · 2026-07-05
A user complains that OpenAI models often "beat around the bush" when executing tasks (writing code or other content), repeatedly asking follow-up questions and refusing to act directly, which wastes tokens. Using the same task to compare OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Claude, the latter two completed it directly, while only OpenAI got stuck in this "side quest" behavior. The user feels this makes the AI seem argumentative and useless.
