I often have to do the same. It will either refuse to do what I ask, or it will provide an incomplete response, or it will tell me how I can go use some other tool to do the thing myself. It's not until I start using all caps and profanity that it starts doing what I ask.

And there are MULTIPLE memory entries that it has saved that say things like "user wants me to do what is asked and not provide alternatives that require the user to go elsewhere or figure it out themselves" and similar.

@lost prawn @wanton harbor is this still happening?

[tepid loom]

yes

[lost prawn]

Yes. It varies from conversation to conversation. Sometimes it's around 80-90% of responses. Other conversations, it doesn't happen at all. In general, it probably happens around 40% of the time.

[lost prawn]

Sure, let me take a look

the same issue continues for me until now, no image recognition, not accepting any type of file input, no image generation and web search
