Yes, nothing seems to be preserved beyond the session. Just as well, 
since otherwise getting a clean slate is difficult.

On the other hand, each new session seems to bring its own 
idiosyncrasies, which can be somewhat exasperating.

I've pretty much hit a wall with this experiment. Even within the same 
session, getting ChatGPT to recognise that it's made a mistake does not 
mean it won't make the same mistake again.

It's like trying to teach a dumb student something that is beyond them. 
Even when you think they've finally got it, it turns out that they haven't.

And this is just with easy stuff. I have no hope that it would ever 
learn to apply more complicated manipulations correctly.

Perhaps my whole approach is misconceived.

Sylvia.
