example: tried to add memory about emoji usage with the prompt: “Remember, zero emojis unless explicitly asked. bold/all caps texts should not be overused too, just on the exact emotion.” but chatgpt choose to add “my favorite pokemon is porygon-z” instead
in fact, I don’t play pokemon, and porygon-z was never mentioned in any of the chats

Hi! I’m glad (and also a bit frustrated) to see someone else facing the same issue. I’ve been dealing with weird duplicate memories and even ‘phantom’ memories that don’t relate to what I’m actually discussing. Sometimes, it tries to note things I never even mentioned. The worst part? The important things I want to remember don’t get saved. Have you found any pattern or workaround for this yet? Let’s share info and figure this mess out!

it seems like it has been fixed for now
