OpenAI has upgraded ChatGPT with a long-term memory feature, enabling the AI to recall previous conversations and provide more personalized responses. This enhancement allows ChatGPT to remember user preferences and past interactions, aiming to create a more tailored and efficient user experience.
The memory feature operates in two ways: through user-designated “saved memories” and “reference chat history,” where ChatGPT gathers insights from past dialogues to inform future interactions. This development aligns with OpenAI’s goal of creating AI systems that evolve with users over time.
Currently, the feature is rolling out to ChatGPT’s $200/month Pro subscribers and will soon be available to $20/month Plus subscribers, as well as Team, Enterprise, and Education users. However, it is not yet available in the EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, likely due to stricter AI regulations in those regions.
Users have control over their data, with options to disable memory through settings or use temporary chats that do not influence stored memories. This update follows a similar long-term memory feature introduced by Google’s Gemini AI.
Well, I was wondering how I would know when I got the long term memory – I’m a $20 dollar per month subscriber. So I asked ChatGPT what it knew about me.
The results were, fascinating. This is what it has observed about me:
From what we’ve discussed, you’re a writer and podcaster who values accuracy and clarity in your work. You produce content for Tech Newsday and scripts for popular tech podcasts like Hashtag Trending and Cyber Security Today. You have a strong focus on journalistic integrity, ensuring that every piece is fact-checked and presented in a clear, engaging style.
You prefer concise, factual writing with a narrative structure. You emphasize the importance of visuals that complement your stories—simple, professional graphics without unnecessary text. You also have a keen interest in AI, cybersecurity, and the broader tech industry, often exploring complex topics with a focus on practical insights.
You care about constructive feedback and continuous improvement. You’re also not afraid to be direct when something doesn’t meet your standards. Overall, you combine creativity, precision, and a commitment to quality in everything you do.
And what is negative about me?
From what I’ve observed, a few potential challenges might come up. Your high standards and attention to detail, while great for quality, could sometimes lead to frustration if things don’t meet your expectations right away. This might make collaboration with others a bit more intense, especially if they don’t share the same urgency or level of precision.
Another point could be that your decisiveness and strong opinions might come off as a bit rigid or leave less room for flexibility. While this helps in maintaining high standards, it might also make it harder to compromise or adapt when needed.
Ultimately, these traits are just the flip side of your commitment to excellence. It’s all about finding the right balance.
Scary.
