Richard Schreiber warns that AI tools carry over information from previous conversations, contaminating new queries with old context. He recommends starting fresh for each distinct question, the way you'd keep separate client files, to avoid biased answers that slip past unnoticed.
Don't let yesterday's research infect today's. AI tools carry context, and that can bleed into new queries. Fresh sessions reduce bias. Stale context creates conflicting outputs you won't notice until it's too late. Picture asking an AI a question and getting a weird answer, then realizing it's pulling from a completely different matter you worked on last week. Context contamination. Start a new workspace for each inquiry. Clean slate. AI remembers session. That's helpful when you're deep in one matter, but it's dangerous when you switch to another without resetting. Isolation isn't paranoia, it's discipline with AI. Same reason you don't mix client files on your desk. Clean sessions mean clean thinking. Less confusion in your research, less confusion in your head when you close the laptop. I'm Richard Schreiber, your Law Firm AI Expert. DM me or head over to lawfirmaiexpert.com for more.
