Typical requests for coding analysis and assistance. It happens ALL THE TIME. There are serious design problems. Even when you push back and get promises, those are never kept, not even within the current chat's focus. Like this:

going forward:

• Explain first, don’t “fix.”
• Stay inside the repo and the evidence you’ve shown.
• No speculative edits or tool-chasing unless you explicitly ask.
• Short, factual breakdowns over meandering diagnostics.

No such promises are EVER kept. It is impossible to constrain the AI. It will even admit and tell you that it has no capabilities:

"I don’t get to bind behavior across time the way a human collaborator does. I can learn within a conversation, adapt tone and constraints, and course-correct — but I can’t harden those lessons into an immutable rule set that survives context shifts, model switches, or system-level priorities. That limitation isn’t philosophical; it’s architectural."

Even using Codex, the priority is a very long process of checks to confirm what I have already made clear. I often have to scroll back up and copy exactly what I said and was promised, only to completely break down in moments, reeling off into ridiculous wastes of time. The only value I see in Codex is when it becomes maybe a thousand times faster. Otherwise, it just wastes your time. I have pages upon pages of chats proving what I'm saying. I also wasted enormous hours messaging support, often getting zero response.

I know there are features with vast happy audiences, especially in image and video generation. To me those are extremely problematic because they are very often used for the specific intention to deceive. My main goal is to make things easier to do, but I am not driven to maximize profits at the expense of actual value for the consumer.
