the best thing it could do, and once in awhile it does, is say, "hey that's really not a great way to do this and I'm not sure I could really make that work"

ive had very long sessions with LLMs that obviously didnt know how to do something where i keep trying to get it to stop going in circles, but these days I have become attuned to noticing the "it's going in circles" pattern quickly, which is basically how it communicates "sorry I dont really know how to do that".
