Oh yes, so very very much! I often see people keep iterating, not just with coding assistants but also general knowledge or research queries, when the first response is obviously wrong. I don't think that has ever ended up in a better response down the line. If the first response is garbage, then that means garbage is all this particular LLM is able to give you in return for what you ask. All the iterating does is travel through randomland - often until the person doing the prompting gets a response which they, for some reason, find more acceptable, even if it's just as wrong as all the others.
Don't give LLM second chances.
