A simple calculation

Whenever I need to verify a network connection with a remote LLM, I always ask it 1+1. I'm sure it'll still raise the ocean level by a millimeter, but it seems less bad than a more complex query.

I forgot I had unhidden chain-of-thought reasoning, so I chuckled when I got this:

Sure thing! The task is straightforward: I just need to respond to "1+1" with "2." It's a simple calculation, so I won't overthink it. There's no need to use any tools for this, and I know the guidelines about "Destructive Deletions" and "No Comments by Default" don't really apply here. I'll just keep it short and clear, and the answer will simply be "2."

At least it didn't overthink it.
