ChatGPT Gets Better at Remembering Info About You With Memory Improvements

OpenAI today updated ChatGPT with an improved memory feature that allows the chatbot to remember more about your conversations. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says that ChatGPT can "reference all your past conversations," allowing for a more personalized experience.

ChatGPT will remember context from previous conversations, such as preferences and interests, using that information to tailor the responses that it provides. You can add something directly to ChatGPT's memory by telling it to "remember" a fact.

The option to reference saved memories is opt-in, and can be toggled off in the ChatGPT settings under Personalization. There is an option to manage all of the memories that ChatGPT has stored, including deleting them all or deleting just one or two. ChatGPT will save memories indefinitely, but they can be removed at any time.

The updated memory features are rolling out to all Plus and Pro tier users, but the functionality is not available in the EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein.

Not available in any regions with any kind of data protection policy. I WONDER WHY?

Sam Altman, fired for being untrustworthy by his own board. Yeah, I trust him.

Honestly, people may be upset about this... But an AI that cannot remember anything is just DRASTICALLY less useful than one that can.

You can choose to not trust the data it is storing, but if they don't actually delete saved conversations when you request, they can be held massively liable by both California and EU privacy laws.

I am glad it's getting better. I love this feature. I have multiple lengthy projects I am working on at any time where i use ChatGPT to help, and continuing where I left off has been amazing. Like having a personal assistant helping you at your convenience. Only a matter of time before it may have the ability to add folders and other tools to help with projects. I know there are API's that companies use to include in their software, but it never seems to work well for me.
Having said that, I should probably try Google's NotebookLM

storing more personal information - way to go!
At least there's a toggle, let's hope it actually works
Remembering past conversations is how it should be done, you don't talk to a real person, and they can't remember what you said at all even a few hours ago. If people want an assistant to feel real and useful, then they have to be able to remember what you said.

I could have a voice chat and then ask it something even a few years down the line, and it remembers what I said perfectly.
