You can undo/remove the comment immediately if you like, the file

## Also use aider chat in the terminal
It can be really helpful to get a change started with AI comments.
But sometimes you want to build on or refine those changes.
You can of course continue to do that with AI comments,
but it can sometimes be effective to switch over to the aider terminal chat.
The chat has the history of the AI comments you just made,
so you can continue on naturally from there.
You can also use the normal aider chat in your terminal to work with
many of aider's more advanced features:
- Use `/undo` to revert changes you don't like. Although you may also be able to use your IDE's undo function to step back in the file history.
- Use [chat modes](https://aider.chat/docs/usage/modes.html) to ask questions or get help.
- Manage the chat context with `/tokens`, `/clear`, `/drop`, `/reset`.
Adding an AI comment will add the file to the chat.
Periodically, you may want remove extra context that is no longer needed.
- [Fix lint and test errors](https://aider.chat/docs/usage/lint-test.html).
- Run shell commands.
- Etc.
