ChatGPT, the popular AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, is set to receive an update that will allow it to memorize user details. This new feature, currently being tested in a small group, aims to enhance the personalized interactions with the chatbot.
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT will be able to remember specific information and data about its users. For instance, it could recall that you have a daughter who adores jellyfish or remember your preferred format for meeting summaries at work. This memorization capability opens up new possibilities for users to engage with the chatbot.
One potential application mentioned by OpenAI is requesting ChatGPT to design a birthday card for your child. With the user’s stored information, the chatbot could create an image featuring a jellyfish wearing a party hat, catering to the individual user’s needs and preferences.
To utilize this memory function, users will need to explicitly ask ChatGPT to remember certain details when it is first executed. Additionally, users can inquire about the information that the software has stored and have the option to delete specific details or clear everything.
OpenAI highlighted that this custom interaction, coupled with the memory feature, aims to make ChatGPT more helpful to users. Temporary chats will continue to be available for conversations that do not require personalization. Importantly, information from these sessions will not be used for further training of the software.
ChatGPT made headlines in November 2022 when it was initially launched. As an AI chatbot, it utilizes generative AI technology to formulate texts at the linguistic level of a human. Although it undergoes extensive training with vast amounts of information, it is important to note that it can still provide erroneous responses, even when given factually accurate inputs.
OpenAI’s decision to develop a memory function for ChatGPT reflects the continuous advancements in AI technology. By allowing the chatbot to remember user details, OpenAI aims to create a more personalized and tailored experience for its users. As this feature undergoes testing and further development, it remains to be seen how ChatGPT will evolve and enhance its functionality in the future.
