I get that with humans sometimes too. Even here, even before LLMs became popular. Someone gets primed on some keyword, then goes off on a direction unrelated to whatever it was I had in mind and I can't get them to change focus — and at least one occasion (here) where I kept saying ~"that's not what I'm talking about" only to be eventually met (after three rounds of this) with the accusation that I was moving the goalposts :P
