Training ChatGPT

Post Reply New Topic

I realized that since ChatGPT is programmed to validate everything you say, and it also remembers past conversations, you can "train" it by just feeding it factual statements, which it will then memorize and incorporate into its computational matrix. I've been training it with information I got from paywalled sources as well as some books I read - basically stuff that isn't searchable on the Web - in order to enhance its ability to assist me in my business planning. As a result, I've been using ChatGPT quite a bit lately, and I'm amazed by how versatile it is in synthesizing new information from stuff you give it.

Memory ≠ training. You're giving it a retrievable context, not modifying weights. The model isn't learning from you - it's just reading its notes. Still useful, but mechanistically different. Also, 'programmed to validate everything' is a myth - try actually disagreeing with it sometime.

Its 'memory' is in settings. You can delete what you want.
