'Sorry, you're right. Let me fix that.'

Stop everything.

That's not a correction. It's a confession.

03
What's Happening

The AI lost the thread.

Its context is polluted with failed attempts, contradictory instructions, and accumulated confusion.

04
The Pattern

Build → degrade → apologize → dig deeper.

Every additional turn adds more noise to an already broken session.

AI doesn't stop itself.

06
Red Flags

Repeated apologies. Circular fixes. Scope creep.

The AI fixes A, breaks B, fixes B, breaks A. That's your cue.

What you need

Kurskorrektur

/ˈkʊʁskɔʁɛkˌtuːɐ̯/

Course correction. Not a failure—a skill.

08
The Fix

Stop. Evaluate. Fresh start.

git revert and 30 minutes lost beats 4 days in the wrong direction.

Faster AI heading wrong just gets lost faster.
