Really the main and most important reason why GenAI tools do not work for me is that they do not make me any faster. It's really that simple.
It would be easy to use GenAI coding tools to have code written for me. A coding agent would be the most convenient, as it would edit my files while I do something else. This all sounds great, in principle.
The problem is that I'm going to be responsible for that code, so I cannot blindly add it to my project and hope for the best. I could only incorporate AI generated code into a project of mine after I thoroughly review it and make sure I understand it well. I have to feel confident that I can modify or extend this piece of code in the future, or else I cannot use it.

Clearing Cache and Cookies for Restoration
Over time, your browser stores chunks of data to expedite loading times. However, these stored files can sometimes clash with updated versions of websites, including ChatGPT. Here's how to clear cache and cookies in popular browsers:
- Google Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data. Ensure "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files" are selected.
- Mozilla Firefox: Head to Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.
- Safari: Navigate to Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data > Remove All.
- Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data > Choose what to clear.
Try a different browser
- Mozilla Firefox
- Apple Safari
- Google Chrome
ChatGPT non-response to inputs
Users may discover that ChatGPT is not responding to inputs on certain occasions, which can be frustrating on mobile devices. It can be extremely irritating when your questions or concerns receive no response. However, there are practical ways to solve this problem.
Refresh the Webpage or Restart the Application
There are times when your browser or app will face ChatGPT not working problems as it loads. It could result in the account not being able to log in. Just refresh your screen or open and reopen the app to solve the problem fast.
Prompt Size Limit Exceeded (Context Window Issues)
As you build bigger projects with Bolt, you might hit an error where Bolt says your prompt or project is too long. This typically appears as a message like “Project size exceeded” or an indication that the context window is full. Essentially, Bolt has a limit to how much code and conversation it can handle at once (measured in tokens, which are chunks of text).
checking for software updates, ensuring a stable internet connection, providing clearer and more specific prompts, offering more context and error messages to the AI, and checking if the server is overloaded
It’s not unusual to see images with two heads connecting together in Stable Diffusion. It is usually caused by using portrait image size. To avoid it, use image size with 1:1 aspect ratio, for example 512x512.
Three ways to tackle the two-head issue:
- Generate multiple images and discard those with two heads.
- Reduce aspect ratio. The closer to 1:1 ratio, the less likely you would encounter the infamous two-head.
- Generate a full-body image. (See next section for techniques.)
Set Clear, Specific Objectives
- The Problem: Many businesses expect AI to “just work” without defining what they want it to achieve. Vague goals lead to vague results.
- The Fix: Treat AI like a new employee—give it clear instructions and measurable outcomes. Instead of saying "Improve customer service," try "Reduce response time to under 2 minutes and improve satisfaction ratings by 20%."
Fine-Tune Your Inputs (Prompt Engineering Matters!)
- The Problem: AI doesn’t always “get” what you mean—it responds to exactly what you input. Poorly worded prompts lead to unhelpful results.
- The Fix: Experiment with different ways of phrasing your requests. Be specific, give context, and provide examples.
