Sorry, I didn't quite understand that :(
Please enter either yes or no or cancel the generation process

Instructions on either yes, no or cancel are unclear. Error message structure does not properly convey that cancel will cancel the generation process. Users may end up typing cancel the generation process though as ridiculous as it may sound.

It was done correctly in other instances such as:

Team's Response

Thank you for the feedback. The concern is valid and accepted. While arguably, in all gift generation processes, there is the guiding prompt -> Changed your mind? type 'cancel' to exit this process!, where I jumped into the assumption that users would recognise cancel to be a standalone command to exit the gift generation process, but I do acknowledge that the part Please enter either yes or no or cancel the generation process in the error message could lead to some confusion that the entire phrase cancel the generation process might need to be entered, which is not the case.

In other instances, as shown in your second screenshot, similar instructions have been successful in guiding users effectively. The discrepancy may stem from variations in interpreting instructional cues, and in future iterations, I will explore more explicit instruction formats to reduce phrasing ambiguity for some users.
