Does ChatGPT keep everything I say?

I swear it remembers every single thing I mention. Even the weird stuff :joy:. Sometimes I have to turn it off to get a fresh response.

Hey there!

If this is a screenshot of a ChatGPT conversation, reply here with a shared conversation link or prompt.

For DALL-E 3 image posts, just add the prompt used.

It really does! Sometimes it feels like it’s more aware of my life than I am.

One time, I asked it to list everything it knew about me, and one of the things it remembered was that I had a slice of cake on October 23. Why is that even memorable?

Me: I don’t have apples, and I’m not going out to buy any. Got any other recipe ideas?

ChatGPT’s memory: THEY DO NOT HAVE APPLES AND WILL NEVER BUY GROCERIES AGAIN.

Wouldn’t it be better if it prioritized some memories over others?

Like, if it had levels of importance. For instance:

  1. Personal details and basic info
  2. Usual routines and activities
  3. Interests and hobbies

Instead, it clings to tons of random stuff, and after a certain point, doesn’t remember the things that actually matter.
