That’s not at all what I’m saying.
I’m saying that in my experience across multiple models, the follow up prompts don’t fix prior underlying issues. They usually patch on top instead, unless you give them significant and time consuming guidance.
I want them to be more useful outside of one-shot uses, but I find that they currently miss the mark.

That's not my experience at all, and I have been using models that are far from being cutting edge. Even in the cases where a model generates utter nonsense, a couple of clarifying questions is all it takes to get it back on track.
But that might be a factor of the project being worked on, and the extension of the changes being asked.
That's not really the point though. That presumes models are only useful if they are one-shot models. That is false.
I mean, what if your prompt successfully changes 20 source files and makes a mess in one? How much work did it saved?
And the elephant in the room is when models actually outperform whatever the prompter is able to deliver, and faster. That is somehow left out.
