Ask HN: Why aren't AIs being used as app beta testers yet?

I’m still torn on this. On one hand, memory could make ChatGPT more useful, especially for people using it regularly for work or coding. But on the other hand, the idea that it “remembers” me just feels a little uncomfortable.

I’d want more control over what’s remembered and when. Curious if anyone here has used this yet — is it actually helpful in practice?

I’ve been trying it out recently, mostly for writing and summarizing research. The memory feels subtle so far — it doesn’t jump in unless you really build on past prompts.

That said, I totally agree about control. I wish there was a more obvious way to “pause” or “reset” memory mid-session instead of diving into settings. It’s useful, but still a little opaque.
