OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has called ChatGPT’s new memory feature his “favorite recent” advancement, but the technology’s ability to remember and leverage deep context about users is raising as many questions as it answers.
In a podcast released today, Altman described the feature as a “real surprising level up,” saying, “Now that the computer knows a lot of context on me, and if I ask it a question with only a small number of words, it knows enough about the rest of my life to be pretty confident in what I want it to do. Sometimes in ways I don't even think of. I think we are heading towards a world where, if you want, the AI will just have unbelievable context on your life and give you super, super helpful answers.”
