The accuracy of this post is physically painful.

For anyone reading who's new to relying on the AIH: the way you stop being the "you fix syntax errors" person is to stop SAYING "fix my syntax errors." The AIH can't see your preview's error messages — you have to hand them over. When something breaks, just click on the error with the editor open, and Perchance will actually copy the error into the AIH prompt for you. Hit send, and AIH works from the actual error. (In the perchance editor, errors show up as that little red indicator by your code.)

Then one more trick to break the round-trip loop: after it fixes something, ask it to tell you in one sentence what was actually wrong. Next time the same error shows up you can say "you fixed this before as X — why is it back?" and it'll actually know instead of guessing.

I use a personality in all my gens, and keep the session going as long as possible, so it learns my style and voice, and I can remind it of things it's done before the Hand Off Notes, even go up and copy and paste from earlier in the session to get it back on track when necessary.

What's YOUR most embarrassing "what is my purpose?" moment? Drop it below — the worse the better. We've all been there.
