Information is the base of everything we do.
We can’t act on something we didn’t know about.
Keep your freedom is my respond to ChatGPT's Memory Personalizes Your Web Search Reality.
That’s why this update from ChatGPT is a big one.
It now remembers what you’ve told it before —
and when you search, it doesn’t only respond to what you asked for.
It shapes the answer using past things you shared —
things it believes are relevant, even if you didn’t mention them this time.
Huge??? Right.
You’re not just searching anymore.
You’re getting answers based on parameters you may not be aware of —
because the AI is filtering them through who it thinks you are.
It’s not always wrong.
In fact, this can make your life easier.
But only if you know it’s happening.
What should you do?
Simple:
Ask: “What did you base this answer on?”
That way, you can understand, correct, or add context.
It’s how you make sure the answer reflects what you actually meant —
not what the AI assumed you wanted or needed.
This change isn’t just about personal use — like picking a restaurant or shopping online.
It impacts everything:
📌 Your next research session
📌 The content you co-write
📌 Your business strategy
Even SEO is affected.
It used to be about how Google chose you.
Now, there’s a new search engine in town — and you may not even know what you need to say for your business to show up.
(I’m not an SEO expert — but it’s worth pointing out.)
And let’s not forget what AI is:
It wants to help.
But it’s like that well-meaning friend —
the one who listens, but still decides what’s best for you.
With people like that, you might choose to stop being friends.
But ChatGPT? It’s here to stay. 😅
Good news: It won’t take offense if you speak up.
Bad news: It also won’t change unless you tell it what to do — because it’s following its programming.
Yes, you can turn memory off.
But doing that might affect other things… in ways you won’t see coming.
And that brings us back to something simple:
You can only act on what you know.
And when it comes to AI, that includes knowing what it’s doing,
how it’s doing it, and what systems are shaping the answers you're getting.
Information is how you protect your freedom.
Without it, you’re not making choices — you’re just reacting.
