Ever notice your AI buddy starts getting weird in super long chats?
I totally did. I’ll have the same chat open for weeks, adding more and more stuff, and then bam, it starts acting like it forgot files I uploaded or stuff we talked about forever ago. I kept pushing it, like "c'mon, you know this!" but nope. Lesson learned 😅
Turns out, it's not a bug. It's how these LLMs are built. They have something called a context window think of it like a super focused spotlight on your chat. As your convo gets longer, that spotlight slides forward. The oldest stuff at the start? It just slides out of the light and into the dark. The AI literally can't "see" it anymore to remember.
Important: Your files and chat history aren't deleted. They're saved! The AI just loses its working memory of them in that specific super-long chat. It's "forgetting," not "deleting."
The fix is stupid simple (and it works):
When a chat gets super long and the AI starts seeming confused... just start a fresh chat. Seriously. It gives the AI a clean slate and that full spotlight back. It’s the easiest way to avoid the headache.
Also, a pro tip: if you're doing something really involved, it's worth a quick Google to check the specific context window limit for the model you're using (like, is it 8k tokens? 128k?). It helps you know when you're pushing the limits.
Anyone else run into this? What's your go-to move when the AI starts losing the plot?
