They can prompt ChatGPT to remember certain information, inquire about stored memories, and command it to forget details either in conversation or through settings. Additionally, users have the flexibility to disable the Memory feature entirely if desired.How it will use memoryFor instance, users can inform ChatGPT about their preferences, such as formatting meeting notes with headlines, bullet points, and action items summarized. ChatGPT remembers these preferences, ensuring consistent output. Another example illustrates how ChatGPT can recall personal details if a user mentions their toddlers love for jellyfish, ChatGPT can suggest jellyfish-themed ideas when creating a birthday card.OpenAI has simplified memory management with easy access to all stored information. Users can hover over the Memory updated notification and select Manage memories to review captured details and delete any unwanted memories. Memories remain accessible through settings for users to review or modify as needed.Turning off memoryUsers have the option to disable the Memory feature at any time through the settings menu. When memory is off, ChatGPT will not create or utilize memories, offering flexibility based on user preferences.Its important to note that the Memory feature is exclusive to ChatGPT Plus users presently. OpenAI has not disclosed plans regarding potential expansion to free users, leaving room for future updates and enhancements in ChatGPTs functionality.
