# Ethan Mollick

## Profile

A Wharton professor and AI researcher cited by the speaker for documenting a **workaround for the model's iterative editing limitations**: dropping a partially correct image into a fresh chat to **reset the context window**, allowing the model to make targeted edits without compounding errors from prior turns.

## Role in this source

Provides the practitioner-level tactical mitigation for one of the residual rough edges in the new image stack — a small but useful operational note that complements the broader architectural thesis ([[concept-reasoning-stack-integration]]).
