Hi ChatGPT, write code with no memory or logic errors to perform .

I’m not sure how to talk to ChatGPT, I’m assuming like Siri.

LLMs are statistical word association machines. Or tokens more accurately. So if you tell it to not make mistakes, it'll likely weight the output towards having validation, checks, etc. It might still produce silly output saying no mistakes were made despite having bugs or logic errors. But LLMs are just a tool! So use them for what they're good at and can actually do, not what they themselves claim they can do lol.

If you tell it not to do something it will do it more, you need to give it positive instructions not negative
