ChatGPT with Elephant Memory: Most Anticipated Wish of the Year

While the world was calling for a new iPhone and solutions to Instagram's viewing algorithms by 2024, I was standing there with my glass up, wishing for something truly revolutionary.: that ChatGPT had the memory of an elephant. Yes, because, clearly, that's what humanity urgently needed 😄, isn't it?

The Artificial Intelligence That Finally Doesn't Forget Where It Left Its Keys

Ah, the ChatGPT memory upgrade. A historic moment, comparable perhaps to the discovery of fire or the invention of the wheel 🤭. Now, this marvel of technology not only remember but also keeps those little secrets you've confided to him between sips of wine. Because, of course, that's exactly what was missing in the artificial intelligence: be part of the club of those who never forget, a wife with an elephant's memory or a spiteful mother-in-law.😬

Imagine, an AI that for more information than your partner, your best friend, and even your own mother. ChatGPT with the memory of an elephant becomes the ideal confidant, ready to remind you of that birthday you always forget or that New Year's promise you swore you'd keep. And all this, while maintaining the composure of an English gentleman, without being prejudiced or judgmental. Really, what can go wrong?

BEFORE I GO ON, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT AT THE MOMENT IT IS AN EXPERIMENT AND NOT ALL OF US HAVE ACCESS TO IT, BUT WE ALREADY KNOW THAT IT WILL BE RELEASED SOON, SO BE PATIENT!

LET'S FOLLOW

What the hell is ChatGPT Memory?

Now, let's get serious for a second (but just one, don't worry). ChatGPT with elephant memory, AS I CALL IT, is not just a catchy phrase I made up while rambling about my New Year's wishes. It's a real and quite impressive update to our beloved AI, ChatGPT.

Artificial Intelligence Gets its Groove on

Let's be clear: until now, ChatGPT was like that friend you always have to keep reminding. «Yes, I've told you that a thousand times, you've seen how you don't listen to me!». But those days are over. With the new update, ChatGPT NOW REMEMBERS And I'm not talking about remembering what day it is today (which would be a step forward), but about remembering what day it is today (which would be a step forward), but about remembering what day it is today (which would be a step forward).Remembering our preferences and those juicy details you blurted out in a burst of confidence.

It works like this

You tell ChatGPT, «Hey, remember I'm allergic to peanuts». And ChatGPT, like the good elephant he is, never forgets. Next time you ask him for biscuit recipes, he'll throw out peanut-free options. Pure magic.

But here's the best part: you're in control. If you wake up tomorrow wanting to erase your allergy history (because, who knows?...), you're in control, maybe you like to live dangerously), you simply say «forget about my peanut allergy».», and that's it. ChatGPT plays the forgetful, no hard feelings.

Total Control at Your Fingertips: ChatGPT Listens (and Forgets) on Demand

Well, let's get something straight: Having ChatGPT remember every single thing you say sounds great, doesn't it? But, What if you regret sharing that your guilty pleasure is watching Turkish soap operas? Don't worry, there's no drama here. ChatGPT with memory extra comes with a «I forgot».» incorporated.

Say, ChatGPT Obey

It is simple: you command, ChatGPT obeys. If in a burst of confidence you told her that you love pistachio ice cream and then realise that you'd rather keep that information under lock and key, just say, «Hey, forget about my love for pistachio». And voilà, ChatGPT acts as if you never mentioned your passion for this flavour.

Tailored Privacy

But that's not the end of it: do you want ChatGPT to forget everything you said to him?Do you need a complete reset? No problem. With just a couple of clicks, you can erase any trace of your past confessions. It's like having the ChatGPT memory remote control, with buttons to remember, forget, and even mute.

And if you wake up one day wanting ChatGPT to remember nothing, absolutely nothing, you can do that too. Turn off the memory function and that's it, ChatGPT goes back to being the friend that doesn't even remember your birthday. Perfect for those days when you prefer a little digital amnesia.

Fascinating Use Cases: ChatGPT Doesn't Just Remember, It Transforms!

Now that you know that ChatGPT can remember «almost» like an elephant and that you have total control over its memory, let's talk about how this is seriously changing the game. Because, let's be honest, it's one thing for it to remember your favourite ice cream, it's quite another how this extra memory is revolutionising everything from the corner café to the classrooms of the future.

The Coffee That Never Forgets Your Order

Imagine walking into your favourite café and the barista, or rather ChatGPT, already knows you want a latte with almond milk, no sugar and a touch of cinnamon. Not because you're predictable, but because ChatGPT remember your order in detail. This is not just about convenience; is personalisation to the maximum, making each client feel unique.

Lesson Planning with Memory Extra

And not just in coffee. In the world of education, ChatGPT is helping teachers and professors design lessons that capture the attention of all students. How? RRemembering which topics were most engaging in previous classes and adjusting the curriculum to make it more interactive and personalised. Goodbye generic lessons; hello lessons designed with extra memory.

Overflowing Creativity in Social Networks

For creative people handling the social media, ChatGPT has become the ideal companion. Need a reminder of what type of content got the most engagement last month? ChatGPT is there to remind you and help you plan your next viral campaign, ensuring that each post is more successful than the last.

Privacy and Security: The Elephant in the Room.

OK, let's lay our cards on the table: yes, ChatGPT now has an impressive memory, but this raises a lot of questions about privacy and security. And yes, while it is true that OpenAI protects your data, there is one minor detail that we cannot ignore.

OpenAI's Commitment to Privacy... Con Pero

OpenAI is on a constant mission to balance personalisation with protecting your privacy. They are working hard to make sure that ChatGPT does not become the riff-raff of the digital neighbourhoodl, especially with sensitive issues. But here among us, and let's be clear, I wouldn't leave grandma's secret recipe in the hands of ChatGPT.. As much as they say that everything is encrypted and protected, let's remember that these language models learn from conversations. And while there are options for not remembering, the line between what is used to learn and what is not sometimes seems thinner than dental floss.

Small Print for Free and Plus Users

Here's a juicy fact: if you're using ChatGPT free or the Plus version, I assumed that your conversations are study material for artificial intelligence. OpenAI is clear that they don't use Team and Enterprise customer data for training, but the rest of us are in the mix. So, if you have something really sensitive to say, maybe we'd better talk about it in person, do you think?

Looking to the Future: Self-Memory GPTs

And now, what does the future hold for us with these GPTs who not only chat, but also remember? It's getting interesting, folks. We are entering an era where every GPT could have its own notebook, so to speak.

A World of Possibilities

Imagine a Specialised GPT in recommending books to you. Not only does it remember your favourite genres, but it also knows which books you couldn't finish. Or think of a programming assistant that remembers the bugs that complicate your life the most and offers you customised solutions before they become a headache.

The Impact on Specific Applications

From GPTs that help you plan your ideal garden by remembering the climate of your area and your favourite plants, through to personal assistants who know exactly how you like to organise your schedule. Memory in GPTs opens up such a wide range of applications that we are only scratching the surface.

A Step Forward in Human-IA Interaction

This evolution is not just a technological step; This is a qualitative leap in how we interact with artificial intelligence. We are talking about a deeper, more personal and, yes, even intimate relationship with our AIs. It's no longer just about giving orders to a digital assistant; it's about collaborating with someone (or something) who really knows you, well, knows what you want him to know.

Let's summarise:

How to Start Using ChatGPT's Memory WHEN ACCESSED

THIS CHATGPT FEATURE IS IN THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE AND THIS. This memory feature allows you to have richer and more personalised conversations. Here is a quick guide on how to activate it, manage it, and get the most out of this new feature:

Activate and Manage Memory

• Turn Memory Off and OnMemory: You can turn memory on or off at any time from Settings > Personalisation > Memory. If the memory is turned off, ChatGPT will not create or use memories.

How it works

• As Customised InstructionsThe memory works in a similar way to the customised instructions, but ChatGPT takes the wheel. You are taught to keep a notepad for yourself, adding useful information for future reference.

You're in Command

You have five ways to manage ChatGPT memory:

1. Telling ChatGPT to Remember or ForgetYou can ask ChatGPT to remember or forget something directly in the conversation.
2. Temporary ChatFor one-off conversations on topics that you would prefer ChatGPT not to hold.
3. Delete Individual Memory SnippetsIf there is something specific you want me to forget.
4. Clear All MemoriesTo start from scratch.
5. Disable Memory CompletelyIf you decide that you don't want me to remember anything at all.

It's an Experiment

• Participation in the ExperimentUnfortunately, if you don't have access to this feature yet, it's because it's experimental and limited to certain users. Patience!

I invite you to experiment with the ChatGPT memory and share your experiences. How has it changed the way you interact with ChatGPT? Did you find any particularly useful features or unexpected surprises?

If you're wondering, 🤔 But didn't ChatGPT already have memory?

Here I tell you more about it:

Custom Instructions vs. Extra Memory in ChatGPT

Exploring the differences and how these two powerful ChatGPT features complement each other.

Personalised Instructions

• Explicit GuidelinesThese allow you to specify how you want ChatGPT to act or respond to certain situations or questions.
• Global ApplicationThese preferences are applied uniformly to all your interactions with ChatGPT (while enabled), ensuring a consistent experience.
• Pre-personalisationBefore starting a conversation, you can set parameters that will guide ChatGPT's responses, such as avoiding certain topics or adopting a specific tone.

Extra Memory

• Conversation SouvenirChatGPT can remembering details of your previous interactions during a session, improving the continuity and relevance of the conversation.
• Real-time adaptabilityThe extra memory allows ChatGPT to adjust its responses based on the information provided on the spot, without the need for prior instructions.
• Specific ContextUnlike personalised instructions, the extra memory is based on the current flow of the conversation, providing more personalised and relevant responses.

How they complement each other

• Integral Personalised ExperienceWhile personalised instructions set the overall framework for your interactions, the extra memory adjusts the details in real time, creating a deeply personalised experience.
• Flexibility and PrecisionCustom instructions offer control over ChatGPT's overall approach, and the extra memory brings flexibility and precision to the conversation, adapting to your specific needs in the moment.

Both features work together to offer you an interaction with ChatGPT that not only understands your general preferences, but can also keep pace with your specific thoughts and needs in every conversation. This marks a significant advance in how we interact with artificial intelligence, allowing you to communicate more fluently, coherently and successfully.

When Wishes Meet Reality

Here we are, closing this chapter, and I can't help but look back and think: my end-of-year wish, the one I made almost in jest, has come true. The ChatGPT memoir, more than just an update, is a testament to how technology continues to surprise us, adapting in ways we are only beginning to understand.

A Game Changer, But with Feet on the Ground

The truth is that having an AI that remembers important details from past conversations is a game changer, yes, but let's not forget that it is still just that, a tool. An impressive tool, it promises to make our lives easier, our workloads lighter and our interactions with technology more natural.

Innovation Doesn't Stop

This breakthrough reminds us of the importance of not standing still, of continuing to push the boundaries of what is possible. ChatGPT's memory is a step forward, but I'm already looking forward to seeing what's next. Because if this wish come true taught me anything, it's that innovation never takes a break.

A Closing, But Not the End

And going back to that year-end wish, yes, it came true, but this is not a happy fairytale ending. Rather, it is a reminder that sometimes what we ask for quietly, almost hopelessly, can take shape in unexpected ways. It is up to us to harness these tools, push them to the limit and see how far we can go.
