that's interesting. I tried it the other way -- I basically acted like I was trying to teach it by calling out some mistakes and suggesting some links to examples. It kept ALMOST getting it but then forgetting something it corrected three or four tries previous.



Oh true, I’ve definitely encountered it doing that too. It’s strange (and funny) when it just keeps making the same mistake no matter how many chances you give it. It will often say that it now understands the mistake just before making the same mistake again. Or sometimes it fixes it but makes another mistake, forever alternating between the two mistakes. But I’ve also managed several times to get it to print a working program after breaking it down into multiple steps.
