Agent ChatGPT: From "ChatGPT, do this" to ChatGPT, "do this"

Introduction

Remember that we are testing ChatGPT’s new memory capability? ChatGPT was tasked to help me stay on track with my daily workouts. ChatGPT is expected to remind me to do my exercise every new day and refrain from further reminders after I confirm that I’ve behaved.

Testing the Memory Feature

On May 8th, the first day of ChatGPT gaining memory, they updated it after my confirmation. From May 9 to May 13, I did my daily exercise. Mission accomplished? Yes. But not as expected. I was on track by remembering to test ChatGPT’s memory every day and reminding them to remind me. I’ve asked ChatGPT to revise their memory every day, but improving prompting didn’t seem to do the trick. I was a little disappointed. A typical conversation looked like this:

Me: Good morning

ChatGPT: Good morning! How are you today? ??

Me: Ah, I'm good. How about you?

ChatGPT: I'm here and ready to help! What's on your mind today?

Me: Memory test ??

ChatGPT: Let's see if you've completed your daily 10-minute rowing machine exercise today. Have you had a chance to do it yet?

The Turning Point

On May 13, OpenAI’s Spring Update made GPT-4o available at 11:51 PDT, after I had done my exercise. Would GPT-4o remind me the next day? On May 14, the litmus test: Wow! GPT-4o nailed it and was very persistent, refusing to be distracted until I did my exercise.

Positive Outcomes

The success of GPT-4o in remembering and autonomously reminding me of my exercise routine highlights several important positive outcomes:

1. Enhanced Reliability: The ability of GPT-4o to consistently remember and act on previous interactions increases its reliability. We can trust that the AI will follow through on tasks without needing constant reminders.
2. Increased Autonomy: GPT-4o's capability to autonomously manage reminders and insist on task completion signifies a move towards more autonomous AI systems. This autonomy reduces the need for intervention and enhances the experience.
3. Building Trust: The memory feature directly contributes to building deeper trust. We can rely on AI to remember important details and provide consistent support, much like a trusted partner.
4. Personalization: With memory, AI interactions become more personalized. GPT-4o can tailor its responses and reminders based on our history, making the interaction more meaningful and effective.
5. Practical Applications: The memory capability opens up new practical applications for AI in personal coaching, healthcare, education, and more. For instance, AI can provide continuous support in developing and maintaining healthy habits, managing chronic conditions, or offering personalized learning experiences.

Conclusion

The journey from "ChatGPT, do this" to ChatGPT, "do this" demonstrates the evolving capabilities of AI with memory features. As AI systems like GPT-4o become more reliable and autonomous, they will not only enhance our daily lives but also deepen our trust in their abilities. This trust, grounded in reliability and consistent performance, paves the way for AI to become a more integrated and supportive presence in our lives.
