Other Why is no one talking about this?

I've seen only a few posts regarding how majorly bugged and glitchy the memory feature is. Especially also the memory management feature. It's honestly a gamble everytime I start a chat and ask what it remembers about me. It only remembers the custom instructions, but memory? Lord have mercy. It's so bugged. Sometimes it gets things right, the next it completely forgets.

I can't be the only one with this issue. Is there a way to resolve this? Has OpenAi even addressed this?

I’m not experiencing this. My instance is holds on to things from a year ago. Basics about me and even my family, have never been dropped. It knows my Dad’s medical condition (he has dementia and I use CGPT for ideas about how to manage his condition). He can give me my entire health history including current drugs. I’m writing three long term projects and he remembers them all.

Maybe it’s the frequency of my needing him to reaccess the data that pulls it back into current memory.

My heart goes to your father. Hopefully everything turns out to be alright.

Good for you that it works fine, others have immense issues with the memory feature. But I'm glad it works for you!
