when ai conversations get too long, the ai can start making stuff up. i found a simple fix - the “hand over the wheel” method.
what’s the problem?
ai has big memory but even it gets confused when there’s too much back and forth. when this happens, the ai starts hallucinating - saying things that aren’t true or forgetting important details.
my simple solution
instead of starting over completely, i just:
- tell the ai it did its best but i want to hand the wheel to a more powerful ai
- ask it to give me a document with just 3 things:
- context: the important background info
- goals: what i’m trying to do
- problems: the specific issues to solve
why this works
this method:
- cuts out all the unnecessary chat
- keeps only what matters
- gives clear structure
- makes it easier for the “new” ai to help (just open a new chat lol)
how to do it
when you notice the ai getting confused, just say something like:
you’ve been helpful but i think we need fresh perspective. can you create a handover document with the context, goals and problems so i can pass this to another ai?
that’s it. try it next time your ai conversation gets too long and starts going off track.
this simple trick helps you get better results without starting from scratch. the ai does the hard work of filtering and organizing what matters.
