Today, artificial intelligence takes a step closer to feeling truly human with the launch of Memory for all ChatGPT Plus users.
After rigorous testing across both free and premium versions of the generative AI chatbot, OpenAI has unleashed this feature exclusively for paying subscribers worldwide, with the exception of Korea and Europe.
So, what exactly is ChatGPT's Memory? In essence, it's a game-changer. Now, ChatGPT Plus can recall essential details from past conversations, including personal information about you, and seamlessly integrate it into future interactions. Imagine ChatGPT Plus transforming from a casual acquaintance to a loyal friend who remembers your upcoming birthday or recent pet adoption. It's a leap that can make AI incredibly useful or, for some, slightly unnerving. Until now, we've been accustomed to dealing with generative AIs suffering from acute short-term memory loss. But systems like ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot are changing that narrative, allowing for more coherent and context-rich conversations.
Unlike human memory, which can be selective and prone to forgetting, ChatGPT Plus Memory is entirely under your control.
Here's how you can harness the power of ChatGPT Plus Memory: You simply feed it information about yourself that you want it to retain. Once integrated, you'll notice the difference. Need to know your age or address? ChatGPT Plus has got you covered. Plus, it'll use these details to streamline future interactions, making conversations more concise and accurate. And don't worry, Memory is opt-in by default, so you're always in the driver's seat. You can manage your memories easily through Settings/Personalization, with the option to toggle Memory on or off at your discretion.
But what about privacy concerns? ChatGPT Plus offers a solution: Temporary Chat. This feature ensures that nothing shared during these sessions is stored in its memory, providing a sense of control akin to a real-life conversation with a trusted friend.
However, this level of sophistication comes at a cost. A ChatGPT Plus subscription, including access to the advanced GPT-4 model, is priced at $20/£20 per month. While Memory may nudge AI closer to human-like interactions, rest assured, there's no way to delve into anyone's mind and erase memories selectively.
In a world where privacy and personalization collide, ChatGPT Plus Memory offers a glimpse into the future of AI-driven conversations – where technology adapts to us, not the other way around.
