We’ve all been there. You’re deep in a conversation with your AI assistant, working through a complex problem, when suddenly it starts giving you responses that make no sense. The more you try to correct it, the worse it gets. Each new prompt seems to push the AI further from understanding what you actually need.
This frustrating phenomenon happens because AI models can lose track of context in lengthy conversations, especially when there have been multiple corrections or clarifications. The good news? There’s a simple yet powerful technique to get things back on track.

The truth? It’s the exact opposite of what you think. — Read More
