The screen recording begins on the main chat interface of an application named "Athena v3". The layout features a dark theme, with a list of previous chats in a left sidebar and the main chat panel occupying the rest of the screen. The current chat is titled "John's Athena". At the top of this main panel, a header contains several controls, including a dropdown menu labeled "Auto Brain Routing: Auto".

The narrator explains that their specific user account only has access to a single model. As they say, "And because I'm the only one like only my account let let let's let's me pick, okay?", the cursor moves from off-screen and clicks on the "Auto Brain Routing: Auto" dropdown.

Upon clicking, a menu appears, revealing a list of over ten different AI models, including "Grok 1.5", "Claude 3 Opus", and "GPT 4-o". The narrator points out the redundancy of this control for their account, stating, "So we don't need that here. It's always going to be Athena brain routing." This demonstrates that while the UI presents a choice, the user's permissions render that choice meaningless, as only one option is actually available to them.

After a moment, the cursor moves away from the menu, causing it to close. The screen returns to its initial state, with the "Auto Brain Routing: Auto" dropdown visible but no longer open, having successfully illustrated the unnecessary UI element.
