OpenAI Enhances ChatGPT with Long-Term Memory Capabilities

Intelligence: OpenAI has announced a significant update for ChatGPT, enabling the chatbot to remember past conversations automatically, enhancing its ability to provide personalized interactions.

• OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reported on X that ChatGPT can now "reference all your past conversations," aiming to foster a deeper understanding as users engage with the AI over time.

• This update expands on the previous "Memory" feature, which allowed limited information retention and now introduces two methods of recall:
