That’s a fairly common error, on my part. I may have a wrong file, selected in the Xcode Navigator, and the LLM accepts that, as the problematic file. In other cases, I’m just plain wrong, in my diagnosis. Maybe the error manifests in that file, but is caused, in another one. I have taken to giving the LLM as many involved files as possible, when asking for help.

I found that, as the LLM progressed through my project, learning more and more about it, it caught these errors, but early on, it ran with my wrong input, and gave bad advice.

It still, occasionally, gives bad advice, but that’s just because it was probably trained on bad code. I have found that it gives good advice, more often than not. It’s just incumbent on me, to treat its input as “advice,” and carefully consider it, before integrating it into my own work.

I have just upgraded my account. In order to do this, I had to create a new one, for billing purposes. This means that it needs to start over, learning the project. I am in the process of exporting from the previous account, but I’m not sure how well this will transfer the accumulated knowledge.
