ChatGPT’s memory can now reference all past conversations, not just what you tell it to

Summary
ChatGPT’s new memory feature, gradually being introduced by OpenAI, allows the chatbot to make reference to past conversations.
It offers two settings: “Reference Saved Memories”, where the user can direct ChatGPT to remember certain facts, and “Reference Chat History”, which permits the platform to adapt to recurring topics, goals, interests and tone.
While some, such as AI investor Allie K. Miller, have welcomed the new feature as a potential differentiator in a crowded market, others have expressed reservations about the platform “listening” and the potential for past interactions to influence future conversations.
ChatGPT users will now have to decide how much personal information they are willing for the platform to retain.
