How to Check and Edit ChatGPT's Memory and Assumptions About You

Did you know that as you interact with ChatGPT, it builds a profile about you based on the data you provide? Here's a simple way to see what ChatGPT has learned and assumed about you:

(Shout out: I saw this tip shared by Quinton Meades, Head of ICT and Innovation)

1. Open up ChatGPT or your favorite generative AI tool
2. Type in the prompt: "Tell me everything you know about me."
3. Review ChatGPT's response and see what conclusions it has drawn about you

Interesting to note:

• ChatGPT is extremely good at making inferences based on your prior interactions
• It may know more about you than you realize you have shared

Now what?

1. If there is any information that is not relevant or you don't want included in future prompts, ask ChatGPT to remove it. For example: "Please remove the information about [specific topic] from your memory of me."
2. Repeat step 2 to see the updated profile ChatGPT has of you.
