ChatGPT needs some Ritalin

ChatGPT is pretty amazing, but there are some issues that are driving me insane!

The main issue I have is when I ask a question related to the previous answer, it becomes over enthusiastic and instead of or in addition to answering my question, it tries to fix the answer to the previous question. I DIDN’T ASK FOR THAT! And when I try to specify that I want the AI to respond to to my question without fixing my previous questions, it either flat out ignores me, making me have to specify that every freaking time, or forgets about it sometime later making me have to reiterate it again. This wastes so much time and increases my cognitive load, making me forget what I was actually trying to do, as I am trying to get the AI to understand what I’m trying to get at instead of it constantly spitting out garbage output.

It also seems to ignore my customizations. There’s a bug where when the AI attempts to post anchors that don’t work. So I told it to replace all <a href=“url”>text</a> with text: url. I then open up a new session and ask it a question to generate links and it defaults back to what it was doing before, giving links that don’t work.

I’ve also had problems where the AI outputs some code. I say something’s wrong. It responds with oh that’s caused by this and that let me fix that for you, and then outputs the wrong fix or sometimes even the same code as last time. This is the main reason why I don’t want it to spit out code before I ensure that it actually understands what I am trying to say.

I’m constantly amazed at how chatgpt can distilled down a bunch of information and even generate usable code. But these other issues are just driving me nuts! Can something please be done about them?

Does anybody else have any issues such as these and maybe have some workstations?

Thanks
