When I first started using Claude I was pretty annoyed by the cute phrases. But when I built my own wrapper I started using them because I had gotten used to them. But added in a setting of course: [Fun Phrases Show playful status messages while waiting for responses. Disable to show only "Thinking..."]

Why Anthropic can't provide such a setting, we will never know!

It’s ridiculous, but they have recently introduced a feature to change the list of messages, so you can just set it to Working or similar now:

    "spinnerVerbs": {
      "mode": "replace",
      "verbs": ["Working"]
    }
