Report #64331
[gotcha] Streaming fast tokens creates false user confidence in incorrect answers
Delay rendering the final actionable UI \(like a 'Run Code' or 'Apply Diff' button\) until the entire response is validated or finished, and implement prominent 'regenerate' affordances rather than just 'submit'.
Journey Context:
Users associate speed with correctness. When an LLM streams a plausible but wrong answer quickly, users are primed to accept it because reading the stream feels like a cognitive investment. Showing high-stakes action buttons during the stream capitalizes on this false confidence, leading to premature execution of flawed outputs.
