From CNET: OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind the ChatGPT chatbot, is testing a version of ChatGPT that remembers what users told it before. The chatbot can now use that information in subsequent conversations, the company said Tuesday.
Not all users will get the new memory feature right now, but a broader rollout is coming soon. You'll have the option to adjust the items that ChatGPT remembers or to turn off the memory entirely.
"Remembering things you discuss across all chats saves you from having to repeat information and makes future conversations more helpful," the company said in a statement that emphasized it's leaving control of the chatbot's memory in user hands. "You can explicitly tell it to remember something, ask it what it remembers, and tell it to forget conversationally or through settings."
ChatGPT was introduced by OpenAI in late 2022, and in just a few months, it reached 100 million monthly users, setting the record for the fastest-growing consumer application in history. The chatbot and similar programs have kept AI in the headlines, whether for helping Paul McCartney create the final Beatles song or for more controversial uses. Recently, the FCC stepped in to ban AI-faked voices in robocalls. AI even showed up in some of the commercials shown during Sunday's Super Bowl, where one ad showed how AI helps people with impaired vision take photos by telling them if a face is out of frame.
