ChatGPT memory now extends to the full contents of all your conversations. You can opt out of this. You can also do incognito windows that won’t interact with your other chats. You can also delete select conversations.
The way they should actually set this up is to let users create custom “memory categories”, e. g. “professional context”, “personal context”, “legal-advice context”, “hobby#1 context”, and let people choose in which category (if any!) a given conversation goes.
It seems obvious and trivial to implement. I’m confused why they haven’t done that yet. (Clashes with their “universal AI assistant” ideas?)
This sounds like the kind of thing power users would like but normal people would find confusing, like how Google+ was really cool for the nerds who were into it, but most people prefer to just have one list of friends on social networks.
I think normal people sort files into folders (and understand filesystems) less than you’d expect. On second thought though, I think you’re proposing something less confusing than I initially though. I think a general-purpose memory-category-tagging system would be way too confusing for users, but “you can create conversation categories and memory will only apply to other conversations in that category” is probably reasonable.

I disagree. People don’t find it confusing to sort files into folders.

Yeah, that’s what I’d meant.
