By skyforbes One of the things I use ChatGPT for is as a sort of "therapist" to talk about issues going on in my life. I do see a real, human, in-person therapist, but that's only once every 2 weeks. So in between visits, it's nice to use ChatGPT as a way to vent, get perspective on what's going on, and brainstorm ways to deal with it. I've had a long-running chat, for dealing with a specific long-term issue, and I think I'm almost at my chat size limit. The website always slows down on this particular chat, so I switched to using the app, but it always crashes, and I have to restart to read the response. So I know it's about time to start a new chat.
I'm a plus user, and I have the "reference chat history" option selected. Is that enough where ChatGPT will remember all the things we discussed when I start a new chat? (For example, it's been able to pinpoint some repeating patterns in my life, and also recall specific details that I had forgotten but are relevant to the most recent happening.) Or would it be helpful to ask ChatGPT to summarize the current chat and store it in memory for the new one?
