Ignoring Context Limitations

AI models have limited memory and may not remember previous messages unless you provide context.

Why This Happens

• Most AI models do not retain information from earlier conversations unless you include it.
• The AI can lose track of the topic if you don't restate important details.

Examples

• Ignoring context: "Continue."

• Better: "Continue summarizing the article about climate change."

• Ignoring context: "What about the second point?"

• Better: "What about the second point you mentioned in your summary of renewable energy sources?"

How to Avoid

• Restate important details or context in your prompt.
• Don’t assume the AI remembers previous interactions unless you include them.
• Reference previous messages or copy relevant information as needed.

Best Practices

• When in doubt, add a brief recap or context to your prompt.
• For multi-turn tasks, summarize the conversation so far.
