I used to have this issue more often as well. I've had good results recently by **not ** pointing out mistakes in replies, but by going back to the message before GPT's response and saying "do not include y."

Agreed, I send my first prompt, review the output, smack my head “obviously it couldn’t read my mind on that missing requirement”, and go back and edit the first prompt as if I really was a competent and clear communicator all along.

It’s actually not a bad strategy because it can make some adept assumptions that may have seemed pertinent to include, so instead of typing out every requirement you can think of, you speech-to-text* a half-assed prompt and then know exactly what to fix a few seconds later.

*[ad] free Ecco Dictate on iOS, TypingMind’s built-in dictation… anything using OpenAI Whisper, godly accuracy. btw TypingMind is great - stick in GPT-4o & Claude 3 Opus API keys and boom
