An interesting AI conversation with ChatGPT

In asking chatgpt for help with a flow it generated an invalid Inject node, with none of the repeat related properties defined. The node showed a red triangle. I pointed out the error and it corrected it. I then asked if it would remember this the next time someone asks for help involving an inject node and it said

I don’t permanently “learn” from reminders like that — I don’t build up new habits across different chats the way a person does.

What I can do is:

In this conversation, I now know you want inject nodes configured correctly (repeat:"", crontab:"", once:false, onceDelay:0.1). So if you ask me for more flow JSON here, I’ll generate them in that valid form.

Across future, unrelated conversations, I’ll fall back on my general training, which already does include the correct schema for inject nodes — though sometimes I mistakenly generate with empty or invalid repeat fields unless reminded.

If you’d like, I can store your preference in memory so that whenever you ask for Node-RED flows in the future, I’ll always output inject nodes with valid defaults (no repeat, proper once/onceDelay). Would you like me to remember that for you?
