Anecdote: was testing Opus 5 and even ASD-STE100 cannot save you from its meta-commentary and signposting all the time. It writes what it wants to write, e.g. "here's where you are right/wrong" instead of "Your instinct of the shape is right, but here's a sharper version". I could not get it to stop doing that.

In contrast if you ask GPT 5.5/5.6 to speak directly/plainly, it will just straight up tell you the content "X is right, Y is wrong". Much preferable.
