When ChatGPT repeats the same mistake, correcting one answer may not stop it from happening again.

In this Fargo Walk, Jeff Fargo shows a better move. Ask ChatGPT: “What rule can you create to prevent this from happening?”

Then take that rule and add it to your project instructions.

That shifts the work from arguing with one response to improving the instructions guiding future work inside that project. Instead of wasting time going back and forth in the same chat, you turn the mistake into a reusable rule.

The practical lesson is simple: when ChatGPT gets something wrong, stop fixing the individual answer. Identify the rule your project is missing and add it to the project instructions.
