Ah, the joys of a sun-drenched Melbourne morning! You know the kind, where the world feels alive and buzzing, and I’m kicking off my day with a cheeky flat white in hand. Just as I settled into my favourite nook on the terrace, I stumbled upon some news that had me doing a little happy dance — ChatGPT has just rolled out a shiny update!
New Feature / Update: Memory in ChatGPT
So, what’s the scoop? This latest feature, known as ‘memory’, allows ChatGPT to remember facts and preferences between chats. That means if you’ve previously told it your favourite coffee order (which, spoiler alert, is usually a smooth oat latte), it won’t ask you again. It’ll just recall it, making your chats feel more personal and seamless. This is a big leap toward making these AI interactions less robotic and more relatable.
Why does it matter?
Picture this: you’re a marketer whipping up a content calendar, juggling ideas and needing a sounding board that actually remembers your recent campaigns. With this memory feature, you can chat about strategies today and return tomorrow to find ChatGPT already knows what’s trending in your biz. It feels like having a savvy assistant who’s invested in your story, rather than starting from scratch each time.
Or imagine a developer refining their code, asking ChatGPT for advice on a new project. If ChatGPT remembers your previous coding styles or preferences, it can offer suggestions that sync up beautifully with your workflow.
Now, speaking of workflows, I can’t help but recall when I tried explaining my coffee preferences to a digital assistant. “I like it with a touch of cinnamon.” What did it do? Froze up like a deer in headlights, asking blushingly about my order again the next morning. But with this new memory feature, that coffee cringe is a thing of the past.
All in all, this is a step closer to making AI feel a bit more like a personal assistant and less like a glorified calculator. Here’s hoping for more moments where we can blend our quirks into the tech we use daily!
