ChatGPT can remember things now

From my archive, written 5 September 2024. These are my impressions at the time.
ChatGPT has an update; memory, doing it without your input and with you specifically asking, GPT can now remember things about you. After using mine for about 20 minutes, it knew a lot about my life (which I’m willing to allow for it to know) and now whenever I ask about my book or my routine, we can discuss these things without me having to give context every time. The addition of memory is a very necessary feature, memory lasts throughout any chat session and you can even tailor the chatbot to match your preferences in terms of communication and topic discussion, privacy doesn’t even seem like an issue to me since you have direct control over what it can remember and I don’t mind it knowing a couple of things about me.
You can also make a new custom ChatGPT by using a ChatGPT to make it, you type in what you expect from the chatbot and through a split screen it makes it, really fascinating and I imagine this is how things such as apps could be made one day.
