OpenAI Enhances ChatGPT with Memory-Informed Web Searches
OpenAI has launched "Memory with Search," a feature that allows ChatGPT to incorporate details from past conversations to personalize web search queries. The update enables ChatGPT to rewrite user prompts into more specific search queries based on remembered information, such as dietary preferences or location, though users can disable this functionality through ChatGPT settings.
Skynet Chance (+0.03%): Increased integration of persistent memory with autonomous information-seeking capabilities represents a step toward systems that can independently take actions based on accumulated knowledge about users. This combination of remembering user details and autonomously modifying search queries increases the potential for AI systems to make decisions with limited user oversight.
Skynet Date (-1 days): The integration of memory with autonomous web searching modestly accelerates development of systems that can operate with less human input and more independent agency. Though relatively modest in scope, this represents incremental progress toward AI systems that can independently gather information and take actions based on accumulated knowledge.
AGI Progress (+0.04%): Combining persistent memory with the ability to autonomously refine search queries advances AI toward more general intelligence capabilities. The system demonstrates contextual understanding across time and ability to use accumulated knowledge to independently reshape information-seeking behavior, two important aspects of more general intelligence.
AGI Date (-1 days): This feature represents meaningful progress toward systems with persistent memory and autonomous information-gathering capabilities, which are important components of AGI. By making these capabilities commercially available now, OpenAI is accelerating the development trajectory of increasingly capable systems with memory and agency.
