alt Hacker NewsTo some extent I'd say it is indeed reasonable. I had observed the effect for a while: if I walked away from a session I noticed that my next prompt would chew up a bunch of context. And that led me to do some digging, at which point I discovered their prompt caching.
So while I'd agree with your sarcasm that expecting users to be experts of the system is a big ask, where I disagree with you is that users should be curious and actively attempting to understand how it works around them. Given that the tooling changes often, this is an endless job.

Have you ever talked with users?

Indeed. If we spend all our time learning what changed with all our tooling when it changes without proper documentation then we spend all our working lives keeping up instead of doing our actual jobs.
Agreed. systems work the way they work. Its up to the user to determining what those limitations are. I don't like the concept of molding software based on every expectation a user has. Sometimes that expectation is unwarranted. You can see this in game development. Regardless of expressed criticism, sometimes gamers don't know what they want or what they need. A game should be developed by the design goals of the team, not cater to every whim the player base wants. We have seen were that can go.
