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…
