Problem: AI Repeats Itself
The AI repeats itself. The AI repeats itself. The AI repeats… You get it.
Why it Happens
Attention mechanisms get “stuck” in loops, especially with low temperature settings or when uncertain.
The Fix:
Try these solutions in order until one works
Ban Repetition
Add to Prompt: “Do not repeat any phrases or ideas”
[Why it works: Explicit constraint]
Variation Requirement
Add to your prompt: “Each point must be unique and different”
[Why it works: Forces diversity]
Break the Loop
When it happens, prompt: “Stop. Start over with a different approach”
[Why it works: Resets attention]
