TLDR: at most I want to be able to chose the memories to be kept, and forget the rest. At least I want to be able to bulk delete my unwanted memories.
First off, I value the memory feature in principle. BUT what rankles me is now that my memory is full, I’m being chronically nagged to free up memory. Here’s the thing, Chatgpt commits countless things to memory that I just don’t care about.
Meanwhile, if something is important to me, I will say “ChatGPT remember that I don’t like bulleted or numbered lists.” This is awesome BTW.
These are the memories I want to keep, but the intentional memories are needles in a haystack of random throwaway ‘memories’ not worth keeping.
Using chatgpt is like flying. But clearing up my memory causes me to have to look through hundreds of entries and distinguish the important from the random. Not fun at all. In fact it is as bad as chatgpt is good. Hard to believe the two user experiences are part of the same product.
My proposed solution: create an option to manually pin the core memories to be kept. Or even smarter, have ChatGPT automatically keep the memories that it was specifically told to keep.
This way, all of the random memories can be forgotten automatically when the memory fills up–they won’t be missed in any case.
The above is my ideal scenario. But the absolute bare minimum is a way to bulk delete unwanted memories quickly. As it is now, I have to perform 2 clicks in the UI just to make one memory clear up from my cache.
