Unlike the older saved memories include, the details saved through the chat history memory function is not accessible or tweakable. It's either on or it's not.The new approach to memory is presenting first to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users, starting todaythough it looks like it's a steady implementation over the next few weeks. Some nations and regions (the UK, European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland) are not included in the rollout.OpenAI states these new features will reach Enterprise, Team, and Edu users at a later on, as-yet-unannounced date. The company hasn't mentioned any strategies to bring them to totally free users. When you gain access to this, you'll see a pop-up that states Introducing new, better memory. The brand-new ChatGPT memory options. Credit: Benj Edwards Some people will welcome this memory growth, as it can significantly enhance ChatGPT's effectiveness if you're seeking responses tailored to your specific scenario, character, and preferences.Others will likely be extremely hesitant of a black box of chat history memory that can't be tweaked or tailored for privacy reasons. It's crucial to keep in mind that even before the new memory function, logs of discussions with ChatGPT may be conserved and stored on OpenAI servers. It's just that the chatbot didn't fully include their contents into its responses till now.As with the old memory function, you can click a checkbox to disable this totally, and it will not be utilized for discussions with the Temporary Chat flag.
