AI output seldom meets the intent on the first prompt, so iteration is necessary. Today, iteration usually means providing feedback in a follow-up prompt, which leads to a rewrite of the whole document. The prompt that explains the intent behind the revision remains buried in the chat.

- Email me a prose description of everything you dislike
- I send you a completely rewritten document
- Then compare the two files and figure out whether I understood you
That is absurd—this workflow has been solved for decades by comments and tracked changes in Word, or by Suggesting mode in Google Docs.
