wait, weren't they always doing this?
There’s a difference between OpenAI storing conversations and the LLM being able to search all your previous conversations in every clean session you start.
i think the difference was only ever going to be when they felt like running the extra processing to do the work.
That is the difference, but it's a pretty minimal difference. Open AI hardly needs to give the LLM access to your conversations during your session to access your conversations.
In fact, I don't see any direct benefit to OpenAI with this change. All it does is (probably) improve its answers to the user during a session.
The benefit is them offering a better service which might help them sell more subscriptions. They don't need this change for the more malicious benefits like more data for training or more insight in their customers etc.
True, I should have said a benefit that is a negative for the consumer.
