I am not an AI enthusiast but I get what you're saying. I occasionally use ChatGPT due to Google being enshittified pretty much. I often do not like the things it tells me and I for sure do not like it complimenting everything I do, but thats something other people seem to like... In my experience starting a fresh chat after a while of back and forth can really help, so I agree with you. Having little to zero prior context is actually the point of view one needs sometimes.
