Now that we are here. Any way to avoid chatgpt having amnesia between the same conversation window?

I absolutely hate when it starts forgetting stuff, you have to send EVERYTHING in the same prompt or it's impossible for it to work correctly

Yes, if you have the paid ChatGPT Plus and the feature is enabled in your settings and you are using GPT-4 then you will get 4x the context length, which equates to 4x the in-chat short-term memory.

I do play plus. What feature you are referring to? as of now, a lot of times when I continue a conversation, it forgets the suggestions it did before, for example

Bt checked just now and I see Dall-E and advanced data analysis, for what is worth

Are you referring to something other than the fact that the chat can exceed the context window length? Nothing will ever solve that issue, unless context windows become virtually infinite.

It would certainly be nice if it could warn you when you are getting close to the beginning of the chat running off the end of it's capabilities.

God, I totally agree with this. Just have a running marker that shows where the context window actually is at any given moment.

Lately it's made some really bad mistakes, like forgetting which programming language we're working in. I have seen some suggestions this could be related to custom instructions messing with chain of thought, so that's something for people to be aware of.

I still have the shorter context length with Plus. Would be super great to get the 32k one.

The title of this is misleading.

I have never really noticed this.

If you use the api , you need to send the whole prior conversation with each request.
