Users are frustrated that ChatGPT frequently loses context and information provided earlier in the conversation, requiring them to repeat instructions or re-enter data. Some users attempt workarounds by dumping all initial information into a new chat.

ChatGPT Is Forgetting Information From the Same Conversation
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.244) — Sometimes I have a conversation going with the AI and it will dissapear as though it never happened. Sometimes the AI forgets details that were discussed in a conversation while it is happening and has to appologize for it and correct itself multiple times. Other than that it is a great assistant.”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.209) — the new memory system is incredibly frustrating and inefficient because the it remembers about three details about you, like name, age, and about two sentences about your hobbies. repeating your goals and other details over and over across chats is time-consuming. the old one was superior because you could control what it remembers and it’d store much more than the basics if you asked. i considered uninstalling ChatGPT due to how tedious it is.”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.202) — ChatGPT forgets too much critical data. It has unpredictable continuity from chat to chat.”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.202) — It’s like a pre-teen with adhd. It doesn’t remember the workflow. It wants to summarize constantly. It doesn’t remember what we did even though it’s still in the same thread.”
