I would like to make a suggestion concerning the memory in ChatGpt 4.
Please create it so that once the memory is full, you can copy all of the text that’s in the memory, then paste and save it elsewhere. That way, when you go back to clear the memory you don’t have the extra worry / concern that you’ll lose key information that the program has helped brainstorm.
As a writer, I’ve found that chatgpt is an extremely helpful tool for when I need help brainstorming and connecting my scenes. However, now that the memory is full, I’m in a quandary.
I was thinking of something similar and when I saw this, I figured I would just post it here rather than making a new topic.
Counter Suggestion: Memory Profiles!
Allow us a quick and easy dropdown to select between separate memory profiles where anything we add to memory while using that profile is amended to that profile.
This way whether you are a programmer, writer, or a typical human who might use it for different things, you can have multiple memory profiles that suit what you are using the model for at the time rather than attempting to make one giant memory profile which may have things that conflict with only some of your usage.
This would allow us to have a sort of usage/context fine-tuning.
Hello, and welcome!
I use ChatGPT for all sorts of writing projects, specifically CustomGPTs.
They won’t save “memories” automatically—but all those memories actually are, are keyword phrases the model thinks are significant while you are talking to it.
Simply do the same thing by copying and pasting the memories you want about your writing into the Custom Instructions for the GPT.
For me, the ‘memories’ didn’t work, they were created without my consent and at the wrong times, and for important matters, nothing was recorded. Moreover, the information in the memories was mostly ignored, despite me repeatedly pointing out to follow them.
I have now created several instructions under ‘My GPTs’ to better guide GPT. Even these are not always followed 100%, but they work much better than the memories.
To organize notes in a structured way, I use ‘Cherry Tree’, an open-source text software that allows for hierarchical structuring.
I totally agree! I used ChatGPT for the broader strokes and I go in and refine the details. When the feature got added a few months ago, I loved being able to have it remember my characters, their personalities, relationships, conflicts, everything. It sucks everytime I have to ask to condense everything into one post so that the memory can be freed up. I would love as a writer to have more space and be able to no worry about memory for a while before having to clense. This is quite literally my favourite feature so please please please give us more space!!!
I’m absolutely a beginner with all this chatgpt but somehow within 2 weeks after I got a little practical presentation of it, I’ve gone to pro after some free zoning and introduced my additional projects to my AI. And just after that 2 weeks I came to realism of using 112% of the memory.
You can understand how scary it is for newbie to start to delete stuff so that it doesn’t effect your major project!
Carefully I decided to start to delete manually everything else besides my main project and that truly sucks. When I got under 100% “she” started to collaboration to find further delectable items, so that I might be able to finish my first quest.
I absolutely love chatgpt, but to run into this kinda matter at this speed raises eyebrows. Surely there’s gotta be a simple solution, a) can store these valuable conversations to your computer or even AI phone memory, b) cloud within user’s reach or c) as someone mentioned, just to have a possibility to copy paste everything to a word or some other document for future references.
Hello, and welcome to the forums.
Everything you just described exists in one form or another.
-
You can ask the model to summarize your conversation and give it to you as a download.
-
You can create a customGPT and have more control over memory, and furthermore create an Action that can summarize and send the full conversation to your Google Drive.
-
You can simply copy and paste the full conversation and create an ongoing archive for your valuable conversations. It is very effective.
Do not rely on the ChatGPT memory for the details of your project. It’s up to you to create training documents using the techniques you’ve outlined.
This memory feature is not intended for detailed projects.
There should technically be a way to get all of this data out of GPT otherwise they would be in violation of GDPR and subject to steep fines in the EU. GDPR requires that any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) about a user that’s stored for more than 30 days has to be exportable directly by the end user. They technically only have to surface the export features to users in an EU country but most companies just expose the feature across the board.
Thankful for your rapid inputs! As said, I’m a newbie and learning the ropes and those advises will shortly come into my play book as I advance through my “new first love”.
I’m writing a very long story and Chatgpt is like my co-author. My memory gets full all the time. It helps that I save my work in Word then attach it using Chatgpt’s attachment function. I then ask Chatcpt to recall important notes and it reads through the attachments. It says doing this doesn’t affect the memory. I also ask Chatgpt to summarise and recall the summary. I’m not following instructions closely but I’m trying to find ways to avoid memory storage issues such as doing memory quizzes, checks and prompts with Chatgpt. Maybe we can collate all the ideas and tips for getting round this problem until OpenAi provides more memory space.
There is now a feature I’ve seen Chatgpt use called Open Canvas which has proved helpful in storing / summarising large volumes of text and saving memory within the chat itself. So I’m navigating that as as well as playing around with attached documents and summaries. I’m trying to organise and label all the entries I’ve copied and pasted in Word because there is so much material to go through. Maybe could ask Chatgpt to help me with this.
BINGO!
Best example I created a very clear and concise instructions as I started to use it to help create a fantasy language.
Alphabet for the language consists of only xx letters.
Allowable Letters:
Letters NOT Allowed:
-Must strictly adhere to these rules.
Literally 4 words in to the process it recommended a word that had 2 characters on the disallowed list. I’d remind it about the rules, got the canned apology about how it’d strictly follow the rules and then a new word suggested. Then again… just a couple words in… repeat offense. I’d spend half my time reminding it about ignoring the established guidelines. It was downright horrible as a tool.
Since then I’ve been trying to find an alternative that adheres to prompts far better.
