ChatGPT memory is the most bizarre thing - the way it works with this by memorizing tiny, trivial things matches with my expectations and predictions of AI. It will be driven by data, information and primarily by text but when given long, detailed bodies of text it will not know what is important and poignant and what is not. For sure it can so far pretend and be guided but ultimately when it comes to text that isn't an instruction booklet but a life story (which seems to be one of the larger uses of it right now) it simply doesn't have the human qualities of intonation, inference, context and real world experience.

I once had the experience of crossing paths with Mircea Popescu (a very early and somewhat controversial Bitcoin adopter who had an extremely large level of influence and still rates as one of the most intelligent and well read people I have come across - may he RIP) and within his chat room that contained equally well experienced people I was told that one of my questions was akin to: "going to the library and asking what book to read" ChatGPT and AI models are fantastic and truly revolutionary but they will still be stuck with the problem of "that's like going to the library and asking what book to read" - remembering that I meditated for 16 minutes and surpassing my previous record of 10 minutes or that I took two Ritalin an hour ago would be important if my life was centered around those things. TLDR: You can give ChatGPT an entire library of words, ideas and first-hand emotional experiences and challenges that you write about but it still act like it "asking what book in the library to read".
