ChatGPT has already proven to be an incredibly powerful tool. People are launching phenomenal projects with it, showcasing its potential as a transformative technology. Some have even referred to it as the “iPhone moment” for AI, and I can’t help but agree.
That being said, like any tool, it does have its quirks. One common issue is the truncation of responses. For instance, while generating code, ChatGPT might abruptly cut off, prompting you to “regenerate response” and leading to the repetition of the same text.
If you encounter this, there are strategies to mitigate it. One simple method is to prompt the model with:
“Please continue.”
This command typically gets ChatGPT to carry on from where it left off. However, it’s worth noting that there can be peculiarities with this approach. If the AI halts during a code block, it may resume the code but not within the same code block.
A more effective workaround I’ve found involves pinpointing the most recent function it began to write (or any line of code you want to continue from) and instructing it to:
“Please continue from function [function name] onwards.”
This method usually results in the continuation of the code within a proper code block.
