ChatGPT does not have “a memory.” It does not “remember” anything. OpenAI is just storing data about you and your engagement with its product.

I’m begging the media to stop repeating tech companies’ misleading framings of their products.

So was experimenting with stuff like this back in 2020 with . I don't remember the details, but I remember they had a feature at some point that would have an AI try to summarize the story from before where the story-generating AI could see. They moved back to just having the player manually enter it at some point, but that shows that this technology isn't new, and has been deemed to not be worth it in the past.

The main issues I can see here are that having an AI analyze a ton of input and generate a textual summary creates a lot more room for hallucination: it doesn't know what any of this means, so it doesn't know what's actually important, or even how to lay that out in such a way that the main AI, ChatGPT, isn't going to have its own hallucinations from it.

I can definitely see it picking up that a user wants to be lied to, and telling GPT to lie. I can also see executives selling / using this AI generated user-info as if it's reliable.

Alex Preston, author and journalist'Crane has a rare knack for showing people things they really ought to see across space and time without them having to get out of their chair' Joe Smith, director of The Royal Geographic society_______The year is 1735.Twelve unruly men board ships bound for South America.Their mission? To discover the true shape of the earth.They will be exposed to a wilderness of dangers none can imagine.The survivors won't return for ten years._______They knew the world wasn't a sphere. Either it stretched at the poles or it bulged at the equator. But which?They needed to know because accurate maps saved lives at sea and made money on land. But measuring the earth was so difficult that most thought it impossible.The world's first international team of scientists was sent to a continent of unmapped rainforests and ice-shrouded volcanoes where they attempted to measure the length on the ground of one degree of latitude.Beset by egos and disease, storms and earthquakes, mutiny and murder, they struggled for ten years to reach the single figure they sought.Latitude is an epic story of survival and science set in mountain camps and remote observatories.A breathtaking tale of courage in adversity, it is celebrated today as the first modern exploring expedition._______'Latitude is a thrilling story of courage, survival and science. It's an extraordinary, visceral and vivid read' Geographical Magazine
