Users experiencing issues with ChatGPT 5.2's responses may find relief by disabling features like "Reference saved memories" and "Reference record history." These features can inadvertently trigger the model's safety guardrails due to past interactions, such as arguments or expressions of strong emotions, which are invisibly injected into new prompts as context. Since ChatGPT doesn't have true memory, it relies on these injected snippets to simulate continuity, which can lead to unexpected behavior if past interactions are flagged. By turning off these memory features, users might receive more consistent and expected responses, as the model won't be influenced by potentially problematic historical context. This matters because it highlights how system settings can impact AI interactions and offers a potential solution for improving user experience.
