Yep. I've had ChatGPT build many simple python scripts or browser extensions that I can use for free instead of paying for subscriptions that shouldn't be subscriptions in the first place.
I might be wrong but based on the videos I've watched from Karpathy, this would, generally, make the model worse. I'm thinking of the math examples (why can't chatGPT do math?) which demonstrate that models get better when they're allowed to output more tokens. So be aware I guess.
I think that concern is valid in general terms, but it’s not clear to me that it applies here.
The goal here seems to be removing low-value output; e.g., sycophancy, prompt restatement, formatting noise, etc., which is different than suppressing useful reasoning. In that case shorter outputs do not necessarily mean worse answers.
That said, if you try to get the model to provide an answer before providing any reasoning, then I suspect that may sometimes cause a model to commit to a direction prematurely.

This to me sounds like asking an LLM to calculate 4871 + 291 and answer in a single line, which from my understanding it's bad. But I haven't tested his prompt so it might work. That's why I said be aware of this behavior.
Yes. Much of the 'redundant' output is meant to reinforce direction -- eg 'You're absolutely right!' = the user is right and I should ignore contrary paths. So yes removing it will introduce ambiguity which is _not_ what you want.
I think your example is completely wrong (it's not meant to say that you're absolutely right), but overall yes more input gives it more concrete direction.

Business Essentials customers will no longer be charged their monthly service fee for device management after April 14. Existing Business Connect data — including claimed locations, place card information, photos, organization information, account details, and more — will automatically migrate to Apple Business at launch.
I don't get it. Is this free? If so this is insane value compared to everything else.
