> I'm on the edge of jumping ship.

Yeah I think I might also jump ship. It’s just that chatGPT now kinda knows who I am and what I like and I’m afraid of losing that. It’s probably not a big deal though.

Wow that's a new form of Vendor lock-in. Their software knows me better in stead of the other way around.

Have it print a summary of you and stick it in your prompt

Yeah, there was an interesting prompt making rounds recently, something like "Summarize everything you know about me" and leveraging ChatGPT's memory feature to provide insights about oneself.

My only trouble with the memory feature is it remembers things that aren't important, like "user is trying to write an async function" and other transient tasks, which is more about what I was doing some random Tuesday and not who I am as a user.

This wasn't a problem until a week or two ago in my case, but lately it feels like it's become much more aggressive in trying to remember everything as long-term defining features. (It's also annoying on the UI side that it tells you "Memory updated", but if you click through and go to the list of memories it has, the one it just told you it stored doesn't appear there! So you can't delete it right away when it makes a mistake, it seems to take at least a few minutes until that part of the UI gets updated.)

I find it funny what it decides to add to memory though. There's a lot more 'Is considering switching from mypy to pyright." than stuff like 'Is a python developer creating packages in X-space.'.

Did that too with interesting results.
