Need a Workaround for AI Drift That Actually Sticks I’m looking for a real workaround, not a magic prompt. Across AI tools, I keep seeing the same thing: a chat starts strong, follows the framework for a couple replies, then slowly drifts back to default behavior. It feels a little like ReBoot — same machine, different gremlin every time. I’ve built a governance file for one workflow, so I know part of this is about structure, re-grounding, and being clear about the rules. But I’m still seeing the same problem across AI systems: once the conversation gets going, the model can start acting like the rulebook was optional. What I want to know is whether anyone has found a method that actually keeps the framework active for longer. Not a one-off trick. Not “just remind it again.” I mean a repeatable process that helps the AI stay grounded, stay consistent, and keep following the same rules across more than a couple responses. If you’ve found a workflow, a file structure, a reset habit, a prompt pattern, or a success story where this really worked, I’d love to hear it. I even tried to build foundational kernels into the behavior sections of the AI settings. But still see it slowing drift into happy hour within a few replies submitted by /u/Mstep85
