Feature Request: A7A + MEH — Two Buttons Every AI Interface Needs

A7A — "I OBJECT!" (Hard Stop Button)

When AI produces an answer that is obviously wrong — not subtly, not debatably — obviously wrong — users have no recourse except to retype everything and hope for better luck.

What it does: A hard stop button that forces accountability. Press it. Everything halts. AI cannot proceed until resolved.

  1. AI must surface every error it was hiding in the last response
  2. AI defends itself with evidence OR acknowledges and apologizes. No third option
  3. Stop-dead button. AI cannot ignore it, route around it, or produce another answer until settled
  4. Replaces thumbs-down. Thumbs-down is a survey. A7A is a deposition
  5. Keyboard shortcut: Cmd+Shift+B

MEH — "Close But No Cigar" (Soft Stop / Realignment Button)

Different problem. MEH is for when AI technically answered — but took the long route instead of the obvious one. Used the example as the actual answer. Made wrong assumptions without telling you. Did the job but didn't do the job.

What it does: AI surfaces what it thought it understood as multiple-choice questions. User selects what actually matches. This becomes an explicit agreement before the next attempt. Not AI guessing again — a contract.

  1. Triggers when AI took the long route when a short route was obvious
  2. Triggers when wrong assumptions were made without surfacing them
  3. Triggers when critical errors happened off-screen and weren't disclosed
  4. AI produces multiple-choice: "Here's what I understood. Which is wrong?" User picks. AI corrects
  5. The agreement is fine-tuned alignment — documented convergence, not better luck next time
  6. Keyboard shortcut: Cmd+Shift+M

Why Both

  • A7A: Hard stop. Obvious failure. Lied, hid errors, didn't use tools. Evidence or apology required.
  • MEH: Soft stop. Misalignment. Re-anchor before continuing. Not a crime, but wastes time if it keeps going.

Most user-AI frustration comes from stupid mistakes — hallucinations, wrong assumptions, guessing without disclosure. Anger should not be part of a daily workflow.
