ChatGPT Feature requests
1

Feature Request Summary:
I am requesting a feature enhancement for ChatGPT to be able to reference prior conversations both in the prompt and in the response. This would allow for improved contextual continuity and more efficient use of ChatGPT in multi-session dialogues.

Feature Details:
The requested feature would enable users to:

  1. Explicitly reference prior chats in prompts: Users should be able to provide an identifier for previous chats or conversations so that ChatGPT can seamlessly reference the content from those chats.
  2. Leverage prior conversations in responses: ChatGPT would be able to recall details from past chats when generating responses, allowing for more coherent and accurate context handling over extended sessions.

Example Use Case:
Consider the following scenario:

  • Prompt: “In our last conversation on [June 15, 2024, Chat ID: XYZ123], we discussed the integration of cognitive functions in neural networks. Can you expand on how meta-learning can enhance this integration?”

  • Expected Response: ChatGPT would recall the content from the previous chat (Chat ID: XYZ123), providing continuity in the discussion. For example: “In our last discussion, we explored how cognitive functions could be mirrored in neural networks by leveraging meta-learning techniques like TTT (Test Time Training). Let’s expand on how…”

Technical Details:

  • Users could refer to a specific [chat ID] or [conversation date] to allow GPT to retrieve relevant context.
  • ChatGPT should summarize key points or conversations based on these references to build more meaningful and connected responses.

Benefits:

  • Improved contextual memory: Users no longer need to reintroduce or summarize details from previous chats, allowing for smoother conversations across sessions.
  • Increased efficiency: Conversations can build upon past knowledge, saving time for users and improving the depth of dialogue.
  • Personalization: Users would experience more continuity, which can lead to more tailored responses over time.

This feature would help enhance long-term engagement with ChatGPT, especially for those users who work on ongoing projects or research that span multiple sessions.
