AI Error Correction Becomes Overly Verbose

The author complains that AI is overly literal during error correction:
- After a human changes "cat" to "dog"
- They expect the AI to simply output "the dog sat on the mat"
- Instead, the AI generates a lengthy clarification stating, "it is not a cat sitting on the mat, but a dog sitting on the mat"
The caption reads "someone please fix this," making it a classic model fail moment.
