I frequently see it reference points that it made and then added to its memory as if they were my own assertions. This creates a sort of self-reinforcing loop where it asserts something, “remembers” it, sees the memory, builds on that assertion, etc., even if I’ve explicitly told it to stop.
My favorite, recently. "Commit this, and merge to develop". "Alright, done, merged."
I try running my app on the develop branch. No change. Huh.
Realize it didn't.
"Claude, why isn't this changed?" "That's to be expected because it's not been merged." "I'm confused, I told you to do that."
This spectacular answer:
"You're right. You told me to do it and I didn't do it and then told you I did. Should I do it now?"
I don't know, Claude, are you actually going to do it this time?
have you perhaps installed Gaslighting instead of Gastown?
