That is strange, I thought this had always been the case. Long ago, I had a chat about feature selection and dimension reduction, and I expressed my preference of not resorting to PCA because it doesn't actually remove features. After some time, I had a new session chatting about multicollinearity and what adverse effects it might cause, and among the suggestions for addressing that, it suggested dimension reduction, saying "Although you don't prefer PCA ...".
This is a separate feature called memories. It saves preferences for future chats you tell it to remember. These snippets can be viewed in your settings.
I'm not sure I'd appreciate this feature. When I used LLMs I found conversations got more difficult the longer they went on - I'd ask one question, then another, and it'd try its best to answer the latter in the context of the former in a way I didn't intend. I used new chats as an explicit way to escape this. I also created new chats when I felt the LLM was going down the "wrong path" or generally interpreting things obtusely.
I'm in the habit of always opening a new chat because I change subjects quite often, and the LLM tends to randomly reference a previous question with more weight than it should.
