Legendary, I love the idea but sometimes I rely on the models stupidity. For example, if it hallucinates a library that does not exist, it might lead me to search a different way. Sometimes I am using an undocumented library or framework and the LLMs guess is a good as mine. Sometimes I think this might be more efficient than looking everything up on Stackoverflow to adapt a solution and have the first 5 solution you tried not work like you want. What is a less drastic version?

Yes, that's the kind of thing I mean when I say I need to dial it back a little. Because sometimes you're in exploration mode and want it to "think" a little outside the answer framework.
