Indeed, arguing with LLM is good if you like arguing. For results it's not the way to go.

I think often it's not required to completely start over: just identify the part where it goes off the rails, and modify your prompt just before that point. But yeah, basically the same process.

Sure, when working with tools - like Copilot for example - that lets you "restore" the conversation to a given point, that has pretty much the same effect. The key is to excise the "bad steps" from the conversation and figure out how to amend the next conversation steps so it doesn't veer off in the wrong direction.
