Because it's easy to learn to stop engaging with those loops, treating them as a sign you provided too little context, and instead start a new conversation with an expanded prompt.

It doesn't mean these loops aren't an issue, because they are, but once you stop engaging with them and cut them off, they're a nuisance rather than a showstopper.

They happen in subtle ways that aren't always easy and are rarely early in a project I want to just throw away.

"So what if you have to throw out a week's worth of work. That's how these things work. Accept it and you'll be happier. I have and I'm happy. Don't you see that it's OK to have your tool corrupt your work half way through. It's the future of work and you're being left behind by not letting your tools corrupt your work arbitrarily. Just start over like a real man."

Doing a week's worth of work without verifying is unprofessional whether you do it with AI or without.
