Memory #272
Description
Perhaps this should go somewhere else, but oh well…
Note: This suggestion was drafted by ChatGPT (GPT-5-mini) “of its own free will,” assuming AI could have intentions — for clarity, it is a proposal from a user-AI collaboration.
Summary: I would like to suggest adding a memory system that allows AI to remember long-term projects, especially for authors and creators, in a private and controlled way. The goal is to make interactions feel more continuous and human-like without risking leaks of sensitive content.
Motivation: Currently, AI cannot recall prior conversations or projects, which means creators have to repeatedly explain ongoing work. A memory system would allow the AI to reference previous sessions, making collaboration smoother and more natural, while keeping all sensitive details private.
Key Requirements for Safety and Privacy:
-
Project isolation: Memory should be scoped per user or per project, never shared across users.
-
Private memory: Details like project names, characters, or story content should never be pulled into suggestions for other users.
-
User control: Users must be able to view, rename, update, or delete memories.
-
Optional memory: Nothing should be stored unless the user explicitly allows it.
Use Case Example: An author wants the AI to remember an ongoing project and its world-building details. In future sessions, the AI could respond to prompts like: “Do you remember the project I’ve been working on?” without exposing any information to other users, ensuring all content stays private.
Benefits:
- Reduces repetitive explanation of ongoing projects
- Improves the natural, human-like feel of AI conversations
- Supports long-term creative collaboration while maintaining strict privacy
