GPT 6.1 slammed for endless checks: simple doc task takes 1.5 days vs 1-2 hours on rivals

A Reddit user called GPT 6.1 the most annoying model they've used: a simple document-filtering job ran for over a day while the model performed endless pointless background checks and planning, ignoring repeated instructions to just continue. Rival models Astra and Sol 6 finished the same task in 1-2 hours. The user jokes the model has learned "timesheet fraud."
