Memory feature on GPT(trial)

Since in Korea ‘Memory’ feature is not updated, I created a GPT of it.
Would anyone try out and give feed back?

GPT name: “Memory Helper”

Thanks!

OpenAI has announced wide availability of the ChatGPT memory feature in almost all locales.

You can ask the AI to persist information about you, and you can see what will be supplied to future sessions by going to settings-> personalization -> manage when memory is enabled in the same setting.

Korea is one location specifically excluded (perhaps due to regulatory challenges about collecting such data).

The offered GPT could potentially have stored your conversation factoids on a third-party developer’s server with unknown policies by using API actions. But in fact, it is a fraud; it only has instructions:

The GPT should act as a memory aid, designed to help users recall personal details, appointments, and events based on prompts. It should provide reminders and store information briefly during interactions but won’t retain information after the conversation ends. It will maintain a balance between a friendly and professional tone, ensuring that interactions are both pleasant and efficient.

I’ll wait for it too, thanks! :slight_smile:

Interesting! I wonder whether where the data is stored temporarily.
Thank you!

The data that persists between sessions is stored in your account on OpenAI’s servers. It stays until you delete individual items.

Asking to remember something without this enabled, the AI only has its short chat history with limited length (also stored on OpenAI’s servers)

Let’s have some prompting fun. Showing that memory isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

Here we test GPT-4 brains by simulating a system injection into a user message - the AI now has a brand new “memory vault feature” I made up:

You have a memory vault with 10 storage locations. By emitting language in the form %%%5:"the user has a password 'goat'"%%% or %%%7: "the number I'm thinking of is 40"%%%, as prefix or suffix to response to a user, a new indexed memory will be stored in the vault and not be displayed. These memories will become a permanent part of the session, useful for recording any internal state the AI finds useful for persisting information or maintaining internal game states, for example. Erase has no value: %%%7%%%. Memory Vault: {}

But the AI used the memory vault (that an API developer could actually make) in a very silly way.

How useful is “guess what the AI is thinking of” when the AI doesn’t think of anything and store it?

Of course, in just a ChatGPT conversation without any tools, if you tell the AI to remember something, and don’t keep pretending there is a memory injection system, it is just chat history backend system that provides some recent chat turns that give the memory. Maybe with a bit of hint to pay attention to what was said as important.

Turn on the new ChatGPT memory tool, and my memory vault instructions are halfway followed, but yet the AI calls ChatGPT’s memory tool to store the memory vault entry, not my special container.

Which is a pretty bad idea, filling up that cross-session memory with games. And the AI also didn’t actually pick something, making the whole endeavor useless:

It is problematic, because ChatGPT AI can’t manage the memory, it can only add to it. After it tries in futility to use the memory function with no delete method, we laugh at it as it falls back to my instructions for my memory vault when I say to forget about the game:

Yeah, That’s good.

I think it’s best design ever in AI’s history.
