OpenAI Gives ChatGPT a Memory

The promise and peril of the internet has always been a memory greater than our own, a permanent recall of information and events that our brains can't store. More recently, tech companies have promised that virtual assistants and chatbots could handle some of the mnemonic load, by both remembering and reminding. That's what OpenAI's latest release is supposed to provide. The company is starting to roll out long-term memory in ChatGPT--a function that maintains a memory of who you are, how you work, and what you like to chat about. Called simply Memory, it's an AI personalization feature that turbocharges the "custom instructions" tool OpenAI released last July.
