Very strange output from Codex completely unrelated to the task it was working on, I was working with it to update an execplan, to get clarity on what we were going to implement, and it correctly updated the plan, but then responded to me with just the output,

"Oh really, oh i forgot pfft, yeah okay mister pz0p."

I have no idea what pz0p is, it's like codex was making fun of me or something haha?

(there are ui bugs with codex cli so I can't screenshot the full interaction, but I think you should be able to get the logs from Uploaded thread: 019a49dc-7066-73d1-853d-38cce20270d2)

    Thanks for the bug report. We've shared the feedback with the team members who are responsible for training our codex models. We're tracking this feedback and similar reports so we can make the model more robust in future iterations.

    If you see other model behavior that you'd like to report, please use the recently-added /feedback command in the CLI. That will provide us with additional details including logs and conversation text.
