Are ChatGPT notifications actually a thing? I’ve never seen this before, so can’t tell if it’s a real or hallucinated feature.

Screenshot of ChatGPT conversation reveals that the 2024 iPhone event date is typically in early September and offers to notify the user once the date is officially announced.

That is freaky. I also haven't heard that this is a capability, and it would be weird not to announce it because it requires building a really, really different kind of system as a plug-in. My guess is hallucination?

@uberalex.bsky.social The memory is definitely real. I just wonder if it’ll do anything. 🙂

Manton Reece

@tedunderwood.me Right, this is a pretty compelling (and complicated) feature if it’s real.

follow-up question to it...see what it says.

Ehud

Unless something changed, this is a sham. It’s just talk, no notification is made.

It's this memory feature, right?

Ted Underwood 🦋 (@tedunderwood.me)

Yes, the memory is definitely updated. But is there anything in that article about using the memory to initiate timed actions in the future? I don't see it, and it would be a big addition!

might be part of the apple - OpenAI deal with apple Intelligence?

@DanFox Hmm, interesting theory.

@manton Not as far as I know, though this is one of the kinda-obvious features I'm looking forward to them adding. I'd like to be able to have ChatGPT follow up - for example in a coaching way, "Hey we said X amount of time ago you wanted to review how you were progressing towards these goals. What's gone well since then and what hasn’t?”

David Damore

@manton interesting feature.

Manton Reece

@apike That would be great. ChatGPT’s memories are a nice start to get some basics shared across sessions, but there is so much more that could be done.
