Embarrassed-Ad-7324 · reddit · 2026-10-06
A Reddit user building educational content reports that AI output quality visibly degrades as conversations get longer, often requiring extended back-and-forth to get results right. They ask why this happens and how to avoid it — a common symptom of context pollution and attention dilution in long threads, with typical community advice being to start fresh sessions, curate essential context, or persist state in docs rather than stacking chat history.
