One of the big drawbacks of talking to an AI chatbot is that everything resets after the conversation is over. He won’t remember who you are or what you asked before. This is by design for privacy reasons, but it prevents the technology from becoming a true digital assistant that knows you well enough to actually help you with things.
OpenAI is trying to solve this problem and finally Adding a memory function to ChatGPT. This will allow the bot to remember important personal details from previous conversations and apply that context to current queries.
Here’s how it works. You can actually tell ChatGPT to remember something specific, like whether your child is allergic to peanuts or how you prefer to sign emails. It will automatically save this information as required and apply it to future conversations and tasks.
In addition, the system will take materials over time. It will naturally save the data while executing queries. The goal is for the chatbot to be smarter and, most importantly, to adapt to your specific needs.
In addition, each special GPT will have its own memory. OpenAI gives the Books GPT as an example because the bot will remember what books you’ve read and what genres you like. The GPT Store full of unique chatbots that will take full advantage of this memory feature.
It’s not that different from how the internet works. Apps store personal information like websites and social networks. This data is then used to create a unique user profile, which is then used to develop personalized algorithms. However, there are significant privacy concerns associated with standard execution of jobs that fully exploit this memory feature.
To that end, OpenAI says users will monitor ChatGPT’s memory, and the system has been trained not to automatically remember certain sensitive topics, such as health information. The company says you can just make the bot forget something and it will. There’s also a Memory Management tab built into the settings for more nuanced tweaks. If the whole idea puts you off, just turn off the feature altogether.
It’s a beta service for now, rolling out to a “small number” of free ChatGPT and Plus users this week. The company will share plans for a wider release in the future. In the meantime, you can watch the movie again His to see where it all ends.
