In the public paid version of the app, I have experienced a complete merge of all threads into one ongoing conversation. When I open a new thread, it has full relevance to the ongoing conversation. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?
Yes, Iâve had this happen a lot in the last few days. Telling it to âIgnore our past chat histories, and start fresh here.â seems to work for getting it to stop, also check that you donât have Reference chat history turned on in your personalization settings
ChatGPT can seem like it remembers previous conversations, but that depends on how itâs being used.
In a single session, it uses context from earlier in the same thread to give better answers, so it might feel like itâs ârememberingâ things. But once you start a new chat, that context is gone unless memory is turned on.
When memory is enabled (which you can check and control in your settings), ChatGPT can remember helpful facts youâve shared, such as your name, writing preferences, or goals, to offer more useful responses over time. Youâll always be notified when something is added to memory, and you can delete anything at any time.
If you want ChatGPT to respond without using any memory or past context, just start a new chat and frame your prompt as if itâs the first time youâre talking.
