i sneak in a benchmark opening of data every time i start a new chat - so right off the bat i can see in its response whether this chat session is gonna be on point or if we are going off into wacky world, which saves me time as i can just terminate and try starting another chat.

chatgpt is fickle daily. most days its on point. some days its wearing a bicycle helmet and licking windows. kinda sucks i cant just zone out and daydream while working. gotta be checking replies for when the wheels fall off the convo.
