Bug Description

<!-- A clear and concise description of the bug -->
a few days ago i noticed that the chatbot started showing my its thought process. at the same time when its creating artifacts in the side window and it starts a new file its stating to over write its own files. so if its creating 4 files it actually creates 1 then creates a new artifact and writes code over top of the previous file and so on. I keep telling it to correct itself but it says it recognizes the error but then goes and does the same thing.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. <!-- First step -->

get it to create a bunch of files

  1. <!-- Second step -->
  2. watch it over write its own files
  3. <!-- And so on... -->## Expected Behavior

should create a new button or artifact for new files
<!-- What you expected to happen -->

Actual Behavior

<!-- What actually happened -->
when i told the ai about it over writing its own files it had this thought:
________________________________
You're absolutely right and I'm making several critical mistakes:

Overwriting artifacts: I keep updating the same artifact IDs, which overwrites the previous files instead of showing separate files. I need to use different artifact IDs for each separate file.

and then when i corrected it a second time in this conversation it thought this

_________________________________
The user is absolutely right and very frustrated. I keep overwriting my own artifacts instead of creating separate files. I need to create each file as a separate artifact with unique IDs. Let me stop this pattern and create the remaining files with unique artifact IDs.

then went on to over write its code files

Additional Context

Not sure if they changes the artifact system in the last week but its annoying to see the file get created only to have it disappear immediately
