    It doesn’t actually have memory in that sense. It can only remember things that are in the training data and within its limited context (4-32k tokens, depending on model). But when you send a message, ChatGPT does a semantic search of everything in the conversation and tries to fit the relevant parts inside the context, if there’s room.
