Context Collapse

Fact

Different situations get mixed together, so meaning and replies come out wrong.

In Plain Words

Context collapse is like sending one text to your teacher, your crush, and Grandma. You write "I'm free tonight," and chaos enters the chat.

It can mix old roles and memories in support bots. It also hits social apps and long-running agents.
