Description: I’m encountering an unusual issue with the memory feature in ChatGPT. Despite receiving an in-chat notification stating “Memory Updated,” the feature seems to save duplicated portions of my customization context (what I want ChatGPT to know about me) instead of the new memory. The issue appears to be a mismatch between the user-facing chat and the memory system.
Details:
After receiving the “Memory Updated” message, when I check the memory list, the only update is a duplicate of my customization context, and the newly added memory detail is missing.
This suggests that while the in-chat messages are working as expected, the actual memory update is not reflected properly in the system.
Hypotheses and Troubleshooting Attempts:
-
Customization vs. Memory Conflict:
I wondered if there might be a conflict between the customization and memory features. I attempted to modify the customization to explicitly instruct the system not to duplicate the context, but this had no effect. -
Delay in Memory Updates:
I considered the possibility of a delay between the user-facing chat using the memory feature and the memory being stored (perhaps due to processing, such as embeddings), but no delay seems to be involved. -
Wording in Commands:
I experimented with using different terms like “save” and “delete” instead of “remember” and “forget,” thinking that the model might be more narrowly trained for specific commands. However, this also had no impact on the issue.
Any insights or assistance from the community would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Edit: Just thought I would clarify that I have reported this via the support system—but that will take time, and I figured others may have ideas or insights in the interim!
