Has ChatGPT Ever Lost Track Mid-Conversation?
It’s great in short bursts, but the longer you go, the fuzzier it gets. One minute it’s sharp, the next it forgets what you were even talking about. That’s just how it’s built. It can only “see” a certain amount of text at once. Once the conversation gets too long, the older parts start to fall off the radar. Here are a few ways to work around it: - Start fresh when the thread gets messy - Have it give you a quick recap every so often - Keep the conversation inside a project, with a file that stores the key details, so ChatGPT can always pull from that for context And here’s a black belt move: if you’re working on a long-form project, have ChatGPT create a one-page overview of everything you’ve covered. That becomes your “context blueprint.” Start a brand-new chat, drop that in, and you’ve got a clean reset without losing the full project. This is great for any long-form conversation, you're trying to have with GPT.
