Can AI Do That?

Anyone that uses chatGPT for creativity – multiple thoughts, multiple ideas – will start to see signs of mis-matched answers. The reason is that ChatGPT can have it’s memory extended across devices. This seems good at first when you start with ChatGPT – but then after many conversations, it begins to merge and that causes confusion, especially when it is building code.

Your code base will be sprinkled with little one-offs that make the build impossible. It thinks “well if he wanted that for this project, he must want it for this one too” – which can be completely wrong. One project doesn’t necessarily mimic another. To make the best of it – is that now all the “Set Instructions” you have developed in your GPT – will now go out the window and be ignored (for the most part). So there are a few ways to solve this, but many times you will think it is solved – until you find out it has drifted and send you the wrong things, when it was saying “Full Production Ready” code – but it is not. You must reset or remove the “Memory” across chats.

Solution 1: Configure your ChatGPT environment to not have chats remembered across devices. Just uncheck the boxes to turn off the memory so your chats are clean when you start again.

Solution 2: RESET MODE: ON
Type this into your chat window when you feel like the chat is getting confused, drifting, not giving correct results – or basically mis-behaving. Keep it inline – call RESET MODE: ON.
That is it! That one line of code will help get your ChatGPT back to the same type of style and answers you started with. Hope it helps!
