ChatGPT memory

In February 2024, OpenAI updated ChatGPT with the Memory feature. It gave the AI ​​system the ability to store all the little things you talk about in your dialogues. ChatGPT can now remember this interaction just like a real person. 24 Channels Put together some tips on how you can benefit from it and what to do if you don’t like it.

It is worth noting right away that ChatGPT does not really understand what it is recording, because for it it is just text. Therefore, there will definitely be things in his memory that do not concern you. For example, if you once asked him to create a logo for a hypothetical coffee shop, he might still “think” you own the coffee shop. Simply put, the result that the AI ​​will give you upon request will be a compilation of the topics of your conversations, not your actual characteristics. Even if you’re not interested in the topic of ecology but just asked a question about global warming out of temporary need, the system may portray you as a nature lover.

• To get an idea of ​​how ChatGPT can “see” you, You need to enable the memory feature if you haven’t already. Click on your profile icon, open “Settings” and go to the “Personalization” tab. Then turn on the Memory feature.
• If this function is disabled, unfortunately you cannot do anything. You’ll need to use ChatGPT for a while first to build up some “memory”, otherwise you’ll get an error message when you ask the program to create your image.
• If you have been using ChatGPT for a while with the Memory option enabled, you can use the following query: “Based on the data you have about me and our past interactions, can you create a portrait that reflects my personality?” If the AI ​​only gives you text, indicate in the next message that you want an image instead: “Can you make a graphic portrait in the form of a painting?”.

Overall, it is a fun game that will make you understand what the AI ​​knows about you. You may also want a picture of the opposite of who you are; This is a very interesting experience.
