From my experience, (and to borrow terminology from a HN thread not long ago), I've found that once a chat goes bad, your context is "poisoned"; It's auto completing from previous text that is nonsense, so, further text generation from there exist in the world of nonexistent nonsense as well. It's much better to edit your message and try again.

I also think that language matters - An Emacs function is much more esoteric than say, JavaScript, Python, or Java. If I ever find myself looking for help with something that's not in the standard library, I like provide extra context, such as examples from the documentation.
