I found changing chatgpt's persona settings helped a lot with this!

Never had that happen in ChatGPT itself, I almost always use Pro mode whenever I use ChatGPT, but what you say happens a ton in codex, when I look through the session traces it seems to happen because of the automatic compaction, where some assumption the initial pass did gets passed on as a question from the user to the part after compaction, which is a bit confusing. I think it was mentioned somewhere that the compaction got a lot better, but I haven't used GPT-5.6 enough to say if it's actually better or not on that.
Does this mean ChatGPT will stop botsplaining things to me? I get it quite a bit more per unit time from ChatGPT than claude. Maybe that will change now.
(By botsplaining I mean when the AI explains some unstated premise of the prompt itself back at me as a correction when in many cases it's the motivation for the question in the first place)
