The problem is that, to the extent the analogy of ChatGPT to a living thing makes sense, the individual isn’t the model (that's just the common species-defining—or maybe “clone family” is better than “species”—set of instincts), the individual lifespan is the conversation.

You could share feedback across conversations by allocating prompt space to it, at the expense of limiting the size of the conversation, but you'd need a way to decide what to share this way.

You could also take the conversation and use it as part of the reinforcement learning dataset. I feel like that's the closest thing to long term memory ChatGPT is capable of right now.
