In my experience all of the models do that. It's one of the most infuriating things about using them, especially when I spend hours putting together a massive spec/implementation plan and then have to sit there babysitting it going "are you sure phase 1 is done?" and "continue to phase 2"

I tend to work on things where there is a massive amount of code to write but once the architecture is laid down, it's just mechanical work, so this behavior is particularly frustrating.

I hope you will excuse my ignorance on this subject, so as a learning question for me: is it possible to add what you put there as an absolute condition, that all available functions and data are present as an overarching mandate, and it’s simply plug and chug?

  • Recently it seems that even if you add those conditions the LLMs will tend to ignore them. So you have to repeatedly prompt them. Sometimes string or emphatic language will help them keep it “in mind”.
