Why does AI "forget" in long chats?
At the start you told AI to keep it short and fun. After a while, it's writing long and serious. It forgot.
AI works on a desk
Picture AI working at a desk. Every message, yours or its own, is a sheet of paper on the desk. This desk is called the context.
The desk has a limit
No matter how big the desk is, it has a limit. When it's full, the oldest sheets get pushed off, or get buried in the pile, and AI stops noticing them.
New chat = empty desk
And when you start a new chat, the desk is empty. AI remembers nothing from last time, unless the app has a memory feature turned on.
TIP 1
Summarize, then move to a new desk
Tip one: if a chat gets too long, ask AI to sum up what you've agreed on, then paste that summary into a new chat.
TIP 2
Repeat what matters
Tip two: if a request is important, repeat it briefly in your new message.
