How does ChatGPT learn who you are?

ChatGPT recently introduced an improved ability to remember user data. Where previously it was necessary to re-present your interests and personal information with each conversation, ChatGPT can now store and use this information in subsequent conversations, enabling a more personal, natural and tailored experience. As a result, this also means saving time.

How does ChatGPT learn who you are?

For more efficient use, it is recommended that you first introduce yourself with a name or nickname. The same applies to information about close people or pets that you often mention. This way, ChatGPT can use the information in different contexts – from humorous nicknames for lighter conversations, to more serious titles for business conversations or similar topics.

Specific details for a better experience

When you want to continue previous conversations or change certain information, be as specific as possible. Instead of general phrases like “my travel plans have changed,” provide details, such as: “I originally planned a trip to Spain, but now I have Portugal on my list.” This approach makes it easier and faster for ChatGPT to retrieve previous information. In most cases, the unwritten rule is that the more effort you put into the prompt, the better the results.

Gradually adding information

Information does not necessarily have to be shared all at once. A distributed presentation allows for a more natural and effective way to get to know the user, similar to how human interactions occur. The gradual introduction of information allows ChatGPT to better understand the context of individual details, ensuring greater accuracy and relevance of responses. In addition, this approach can prevent the potential for information overload, which could otherwise reduce the effectiveness of the interaction.

Memory review and update

ChatGPT allows users to check what the AI remembers about them at any time. By asking “What did you remember about me?”, users can quickly check and correct the stored information, ensuring that the answers are always current and relevant. Regular reviews allow users to maintain the accuracy of the stored information and avoid misunderstandings in future interactions. Sensitive or outdated data can also be removed or changed, ensuring a higher level of privacy.
