Wait, are you doing this in the web chat interface?!
That's definitely not a good way. You need to be using a harness (like Claude Code) where the agent can plan its work, explore the codebase, execute code, run tests, etc. With this sort of set up, your prompts can be short (like 1 to 5 sentences) and still get great results.
- wg0 6mo agoI use claud CLI or OpenCode. The "Regenerate" example is just to illustrate that same prompt would produce different output each time. You're rolling a dice.
- hnfong 6mo agoNot sure what your point is. Sure, AI output is kind of random. But that's also basically true for humans. It's harder to "prove" humans are random, but wouldn't you think a person would do things slightly differently when given the same tasks but on different days? People change their minds a lot, it's just that there's no "reconsider" button for people so you feel a bit of social friction if you pester somebody to rethink an issue. But it's no different. I'd be really surprised if your point is that humans, unlike AI, are super deterministic and that's why they are so much more trustworthy and smarter than AI...
