With LLMs, you're still mostly read things "off the tip of the tongue". A better comparison is observing a smart person talking to themselves while working on a tough problem.

EDIT: also there's a reason the dial is called "effort", not "smarts".

I don't think smart people generally solve problems by talking through reasoning steps at a mile a minute. They clear their mind and let the solution come.

Of course I don't know if there's really a way for this to be molded in current LLM's (sounds more like diffusion)

Yes, but that should apply to the CoT "thinking", not the final output.
