Feedback is one thing, but another is complete memory. I used to stop talking in a thread once gpt solved my issue.

But then it would bring it up again in another thread, treating it as an active issue.

So now I always close with "thanks, that worked. Don't reply"

I've encountered this too for home lab projects. I had planned on implementing OPNsense in a VM, then realized it was adding too much complexity and bailed on it.

Later in separate chats about my homelab, the LLM made assumptions that I had already implemented OPNsense in a VM and it was actively running. I think it "assumed" that I had implemented it when I stopped responding in that thread.

You're missing the fact the they didn't have this in mind, and thought of it as sharing a positive result with a study partner.

Exactly this. My first impulse was along the lines of sharing a positive result with a study partner. I did eventually tell it I passed the exam so it would stop providing responses with the assumption I was still working on that exam.

I think a better approach would be to use the objective built-in feedback, like the thumbs up button in Gemini.
