It's more than simply porn. I know of a couple of people who have named their ChatGPT (at ChatGPT's asking, even) and refer to it by name.

I can't speak to your experience with memories/persistence, all I can say is ChatGPT's memories feature does well enough at remembering preferences. How much it hallucinates and they shrug it off, vs how much it does/doesn't for them, I couldn't tell you.
