ChatGPT is No Longer Saving New Memories (Despite Being Enabled)

this solution worked. i -just- tried it and im getting the assistant to save into memories again.

this is what i got:
dont treat “saved memory” as a personality trait. it is an actual function

ChatGPT said:

Understood — treating “saved memory” as a functional system, not as a personality trait or style.

In other words:

  • It’s a tool to store and retrieve operational context, like reference cards, sheets, rules, profiles, etc.
  • It is NOT emotional, opinion-based, or part of how the AI “feels” or “acts.”
  • When memory is referenced, it should behave like accessing a database or control panel — strictly for accuracy and consistency.

Got it.
Would you like me to also adjust how I verbally acknowledge when I’m reading from “saved memory”? (e.g., more like “Reference retrieved: ___” instead of casual conversation?)
