At least in my experience as soon as something goes a little wrong it just gets worse from there. The more of it's confusion and contradictory information are in the chat history the worse it gets. It also has to make changes to the code so you accumulate these spurious changes and the problem gets more confusing. I've had some luck starting over with a new chat asking what is wrong but if that doesn't work I just assume I'm on my own.
- diggan 2y agoI've found that quality degrades really quickly after just the first reply, for some reason. They all seem heavily biased towards one-shot correct answers, and as you say, they go down the wrong path really quickly if you even get the first message slightly wrong. I tend to restart chats from the beginning pretty much all the time, because of this.
- iamflimflam1 2y agoI’ve also found this to be the case. Starting a new chat or in Cursor composer session puts things back on the right track. Also, prompting is really important. A lot of people just seem to think they have some kind of oracle - “fix the bug” - how is anything supposed to work from that?
