Not in the same way. LLMs are far more annoying about it.

I can say: I'm trying to solve problem x. I've tried solutions a,b, and c. Here are the outputs to those (with run commands, code, and in markdown code blocks). Help me find something that works " (not these exact words. I'm way more detailed). It'll frequently suggest one of the solutions I've attempted if they are very common. If it doesn't have a solution d it will go a>b>c>a>... and get stuck in the loop. If a human did that you'd be rightfully upset. They literally did the thing you told them not to, then when you remind them and they say "ops sorry" they do it again. I'd rather argue with a child
