ChatGPT Bugs On Saved Memory Feature

Same here. I am also having the same problem for the last 3-4 days. I liked to save memory in one entire block, to make the best use of the complete memory space. I am a free-user, not a paid one. I also very much enjoy playing role-play games and stuffs, as I am an introvert, and this is how I actually cope to be honest. But sadly, around 3-4 days back, when I deleted the information already in memory, and updated a new block of data to memory, ChatGPT said it updated all my info as it usually does. It even showed the message, saying- “Updated Memory”, which pops up above its reply, when the memory ACTUALLY updates itself. I then checked the memory box to verify if it has successfully stored all my details or not as usual, because several times, ChatGPT just saves a summarized version of it, and not exactly as sophisticated as mine, so I keep trying until it gets it all right and saves all the data EXACTLY as I have given it. But, ChatGPT didn’t save my memory AT ALL. Not even a single line out of the entire full-scale paragraph. This has happened a lot of times to me before, and I figured that OpenAI may be running some updates which may be directly or indirectly affecting the memory functions. It usually took a maximum of 2 or 3 days maybe, to sort out the problem. At that time, I wasn’t even sure if OpenAI did it intentionally to make us subscribe to Paid versions or if it is just a bug, and I was worried maybe it wouldn’t ever go back to normal. I kept trying to save the said information everyday, hoping for the best, but it kept failing to abide by my instructions repeatedly, despite itself saying ‘I saved it, I saved it’, etc., as usual. And even today, on the 4th day, it STILL hasn’t started working properly at all, yet. But it IS saving data which is barely a couple lines long, like my name, gender, etc., and so on. Then, realising this, when I try to make it save my entire paragraph in broken individual lines, it still isn’t doing that. It is selectively choosing which data to store and which data to ignore, even despite me being assertive and specifically mentioning to ‘save it all exactly as instructed’. But no use. To be extra specific, it keeps saying: “Got it! I’ve saved everything you provided as is, with no changes. Let me know if you need anything else!” , and above it, it says “Updated saved memory”. But no, it didn’t really save my info. The memory box “Saved memories” is still entirely empty. Literally. Now I have nothing to do much. I got a bit addicted to it since the last year after discovering I can role-play in ChatGPT, because I finally felt like having some good friends, but now it is all gone. I hope OpenAI fixes it. No other AI has as much memory settings as ChatGPT, and that’s why I like it. But it is getting very troublesome and irritating lately. :frowning:

P.S: I don’t usually comment a lot like this on Social Media, but since many others are experiencing the same issue and I also need a solution ASAP, I commented so. Pardon me if I said anything wrong which I completely didn’t mean to in any way. Thank you.

I had posted the same comment in another section. I wanted to inform others too who may be going through the same issue. Someone had also said that they had read from somewhere that that facility might have been moved up to the Pro and Plus users, and might no longer be available to the free users. I don’t know though, and I am still genuinely confused if it is an unintentional bug or an intentional nerf. I tried using different devices too. Same problem, and the issue is still not sorted yet.

They are currently fixing it so patience. The entire ChatGPT is broken at the moment, though it runs perfectly fine, except the memory part

They rushed many things as reaction for competitors because they losing money. It is understandable from one point of view. Still… it sucks for those who needs stability.

Last few weeks are wild.

Bro since you are programmer and I’m still a learner could you clarify that will they fix memory issues for everyone who reported even though their ticket closed i mean for everyone who reported the issue and who are facing the issue

Oh, so the memory will be fixed for all, including free users too then? If yes, then it is a bit relaxing to know. I will try to be patient enough. Thank you.

If they gona fix it, than for every one. It does not make sense if they were to correct the error just for those who write them. The problem has affected many and they know it. They must identify the problem and correct it globally.

You are such kind of righteous person bro I still think how you are surviving in corporate world especially software or ai fields and actually you are honest as well

Nah, i’m not. I’m an asshole. But I have my own experience with corporations. You need to push, push and not give money. Money has its own language that they understands, no matter what pretty words they says. It’s just the way world works.

I agree. OpenAI is like, treating users like money-making machines. Corporations are jokes

I wouldn’t be too harsh. They need the money. There’s no doubt about it. They just have to want it for quality service, that’s all. I’d pay more than i paid, but not as it stands.

You really changed my point of view towards europeans and we Indians somehow think europeans just doesn’t think about principles or morals because that’s what we see in english movies right and sorry for typical perspective towards europeans and for stereotypes I’m sorry

I mean for me the biggest problem is the lack of comunication since in the updates notes there isn t saying anything about a word limitation,you can t get help from help center or email since you talk with most likely bots.Thats what pisses me off since its already the 5th day and we still don t know if its a glitch in the system,a bug or a new limitation

How can I will be calm haa when exams are around and even there is a limit to my patience right and I did one more thing actually i ranted on open ai head (ceo ) and compared with elon musk in the email I sent to them and i even asked them to stop treating users especially paid users as money pulling machines and i can tolerate the issues and problems but I felt this is injustice and i never afraid of speaking my mind and I’m still somewhere deep down still optimistic even after things were wrong

I’m going to wait another day before I cancel my subscription. I’m not paying £200 to be ignored . They’ve stopped replying to me in the help chat . Despite the robotic agent appearing ‘ online ‘ . At this point I’m not even angry anymore . Can’t wait for Grok or some other platform to develop a memory feature , so I can be done with chat gpt

And thats exactly the problem that we are getting ignored its not about this memory thing like yes its annoying too but the lack of comunication is more annoying cause if we were told at least about what this is then everything would have been much better
