Sometimes a long answer stops before it is done. This is normal. Nothing is broken.

The AI can only write so much at one time. A long reply may reach that limit and pause.

The fix is easy. You just ask it to keep going.

Type the word continue, or 'please finish that'. It will pick up where it left off.

Try this
  1. Notice the answer stopped before it was done.
  2. Type 'continue' or 'please finish that answer'.
  3. Read the rest as it picks up where it paused.
