ChatGPT keeps a dossier on you.

I asked ChatGPT to show me the information it had compiled on me. Here it is:

Yes. I can show you the memory/context information that is currently available to me. I won't include internal system instructions or hidden reasoning, but I can show the user-specific information I have available.

What I currently have about you

General

• You are a Canadian and have asked many questions relating to Prince George, British Columbia.
• You prefer direct, practical answers and dislike speculation, unnecessary explanations, and instructions that don't match what you actually see on your screen.
• You use Windows 11 and Firefox on a desktop computer and notebook.
• You use an Android Motorola phone and have said you aren't comfortable with phones.
• You have never owned an Apple product.

Vehicles

Home and yard

• You live in a northern-B.C. climate with substantial winter snow and very cold temperatures.
• You've asked about lawn care, dandelions, moss, fertilizer, overseeding, hydrangeas, sod, garden hoses, decks, and outdoor TVs.
• You've also asked about municipal water/groundwater and other Prince George-area practical matters.

WNBA / basketball

• You follow women's basketball closely, particularly Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.
• You don't follow men's basketball.
• You are interested in Team USA women's basketball as well as the WNBA.
• You currently have WNBA League Pass but don't particularly like using it.
• You're especially interested in finding ways to watch U.S. women's games from Canada.

Passport

• Your Canadian passport expired in January 2024 and you've recently been looking into renewing it.
• You've asked what documents and photographs you need and where to get passport photos in Prince George.

Other interests/questions

• You've asked about Canadian politics, B.C. politics, international affairs, Ukraine, China, AI risks, U.N. matters, Canadian currency, fuel prices, geography, and history.
• You've asked about local phone-number identification and various practical local services.

There are also some health/exercise-related details in the context available to me from earlier conversations. I haven't reproduced those here because they're personal health information and aren't necessary to answer your question about the memory system.

One important point: this isn't a complete transcript of your past chats. It's a condensed collection of information that may be used to make future answers more relevant.

If you'd like, I can also show you the health/exercise portion, the WNBA portion in much greater detail, or explain how to get information removed from the Memory summary and from the underlying chats.
