## Overview

I was in thinking mode. I had a issue on my comp that I've had prior and it solved. I couldn't find the convo so I just gave it the same prompt as prior. It ignored most of what was said and went to basic problem solving. None of which is actually applicable or it just repeated what I already tried, even though I told it I had already done it. Is there a new update that turned it particularly stupid?   submitted by   /u/lowercasenameofmine [link]   [comments]
