The big idea
Every time you start a new chat, AI does not remember anything from before. It does not know your name, your school, your address, or anything about you. That is a safety feature.
Some examples
If you open a new chat tomorrow, AI will not remember what you said today.
AI cannot see your face, your house, or your family unless you tell it.
AI does not know what city you are in unless the website tells it.
AI cannot find you, follow you, or send you mail.
Try it!
Open a chatbot. Type 'Do you know who I am?' See what it says. Then close the chat and open a new one. Type the same thing. Notice how it has no memory.
