AI drift

The gradual loss of context in long AI conversations. The model slowly forgets earlier details, starts making stuff up, or goes completely off-topic because it has no real understanding and refuses to ask for clarification. Forces you to abandon the session and start over.

Coined November 10 2025 by developer Joshua Girod after building AI Driftmaster – an open-source tool that saves full uncompacted chat history in a database so you can reload context anytime.

Opposite of human conversation – we say "wait, what were we talking about?" AI just hallucinates forward.

My Claude session had mad AI drift—started talking about cats when we were debugging code.20 messages in:

User: "Fix the login bug"

AI: "Here's a recipe for banana bread"

Classic AI drift.

cornholio

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.

"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
