OpenAI just dropped a major update to ChatGPT—the chatbot can now remember everything. In this week’s segment on Fox 5 New York, tech expert and Professor of Advanced Media in Residence at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School, Shelly Palmer, breaks down what this means for users.
From boosting productivity to raising serious privacy concerns, this change is a double-edged sword. Shelly explains how ChatGPT’s new memory feature can supercharge your prompts, refine answers over time, and become a more personalized tool for students, professionals, and business owners. But what if you don’t want ChatGPT remembering everything?
Shelly walks you through exactly how to turn off memory, how to use the “temporary chat” feature (ChatGPT’s incognito mode), and shares best practices for getting the most value while protecting your privacy.
📱 Whether you’re using iOS, Android, or desktop, this is must-know info for anyone using ChatGPT.
