ChatGPTs "memory" is how it can and probably will easily monetise its users (self.privacy)

It can remember specific, targeted things about you that perhaps tracking from cookies couldn't easily detect from you. I think the free AIs will exploit everything you type into it and deliver specific targeted advertisements for products instead perhaps of giving longer, more useful explanations.

Around the time / maybe just before OpenAI wanted to become a profit-driven company, it implemented memory, obviously for a specific reason!

Thoughts?

I don't think so. It's more likely to be a lock-in method. Go to another AI provider and it won't remember all the useful things you've told it.

I guess we'll see if OpenAI starts an ad network...

When I switched to self-hosted ai, I just asked chat gpt to introduce me to it.
