Artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing, showcasing proficiency in various domains like coding, design, image generation, content creation, document analysis, and research. However, a significant challenge persists: AI’s struggle with topic switching. Unlike humans, AI models often exhibit difficulty seamlessly transitioning between disparate subjects, displaying a ‘context momentum’ that hinders their ability to adapt to new prompts effectively. This limitation, recently highlighted on Reddit, arises from the inherent fluidity of human conversation, a nuance that AI is still actively learning to replicate. The challenge lies in relinquishing previous context without compromising overall coherence and logical flow.
