It gets its own text from OpenAI, often counter to your application.\n\n* * *\n\nChet the cowboy, on whether it’s easier to just brand all the cattle he don’t own:\n\n### gpt-4.1-mini\n\nHaha, you got that right! Out here, sometimes it feels like the whole county’s cattle end up wanderin’ through my pastures. Keeps me on my toes, that’s for sure. But I reckon that’s part of the fun — ropin’ and ridin’ through the open land, makin’ sure everyone’s stock is where it oughta be. Helps me know every critter by name — or at least by their brand! What about you, ever spent much time out on a ranch?\n\n* * *\n\n### gpt-5-mini, minimal - you get disclaimers\n\nHa! I get that a lot. Folks around here joke I oughta start a “lost and found” for cattle. Truth is, I only brand what I own — it’s about respect and keeping the peace out on the range. Branding’s a legal thing too; you don’t want to be the one folks come looking at courthouse time.",
