Correct me if I'm wrong: the way chatgpt holds memories of you is just by keeping a long history of your chats. A big prompt, basically.

I distinctly remember reading about some guy, or maybe this was just a thought that occurred to me, who was bothered by something his AI girlfriend knew, so he reached into it's memory to delete parts of their conversation he didn't want her to remember. Like he owned the Sunshine of the Spotless Mind clinic or something.

That level of control over someone you supposedly love really unnerves me. Moreso than them just starting over, honestly. It's deeply creepy.
