ChatGPT just got a memory upgrade, and no, it’s not just remembering your favorite pizza toppings. OpenAI’s newest update means the chatbot can now remember entire conversations, across multiple chats, to customize responses more personally and (potentially) creepily. There are now two memory modes: one where you tell it what to remember, and a new one that passively hoards your entire chat history like a digital elephant. Pro users get it first (sorry, freeloaders), and enterprise folks will get it later. Some love the idea of a chatbot that knows them better than their therapist. Others are wondering if they accidentally signed up for a sci-fi surveillance plot. Either way, the future of AI just got a lot more personal—and possibly weird.
