Chatting with a bot won’t make it smarter for you or other users. Models have no memory of previous conversations. To mimic a chat, previous inputs and outputs must be sent to the model each time. Training happens once using massive datasets before deployment. (Your data might still be stored by the company for future training.) To work around this, AI platforms are building memory functions that store personalized information that the model gets in each request or can access in real-time.
