The Illusion of AI Memory
AI often creates the illusion of memory by revisiting past conversation threads when generating responses. However, it lacks true memory, as each interaction with AI resets the context, requiring users to submit prior exchanges for continuity. This mechanism can lead to misunderstandings, as users may perceive AI as lying due to its limited ability to provide consistent answers. Understanding this limitation is crucial for users to avoid being misled or frustrated by AI's responses.
