The inevitable descent of a focused AI conversation into glorious chaos, usually within 3–7 messages. What begins as a simple request ("Help me fix this bug") ends up unpacking childhood trauma, debating metaphysics, and designing a solar-powered rum distillery on Mars.
It’s not a bug—it’s a FEATURE.
Origin:
Born from the trenches of multi-topic AI sessions where attention spans go to die. Coined by users who realized they’re not multitasking—they’re multi-existential spiraling.
Related Terms:
* Context Collapse – When multiple topics blur into a singularity of semantic soup.
* Prompt Creep – When your “one quick question” becomes a doctoral thesis.
* AI Tangent Velocity (ATV) – The speed at which a conversation fucks off into nowhere.
Pro Tips:
* Embrace it. Let the drift take you.
* Rename your chat threads before you forget what the hell happened.
* Use it as fuel for your next sci-fi short story or therapy session.

A person who posts multiple links on Facebook and causes their friends' feed to be inundated with useless information.
She posts links to celebrity birthdays 10 times in a row every morning. I know, she's such a thread clogger.
