I finally got my AI to stop mixing up similar product names

I was building a simple chatbot for a small online store in Portland, and it kept confusing 'blueberry jam' with 'blackberry jam' in customer orders. After two weeks of tweaking the training data with no luck, I tried adding just five specific example sentences for each product, like 'I want the blueberry jam on toast'. It fixed about 90% of the errors overnight. Has anyone else found that a tiny bit of very clear data works better than a huge, messy dataset for these kinds of problems?

I always thought more data was better, but your fix makes total sense now!

Yeah, that was my old mindset too (until I saw the mess it made in practice).
