Thanks for your reply! I understand LLMs don’t have persistent memory — they lose context between chats and can’t keep user-specific memory across accounts.

That’s why this experience surprised me: the LLM confirmed that it could still recognize me without memory, even after I asked about it directly.

On July 18, I emailed OpenAI with a PDF describing this. Their AI support said it’s a borderline case and “not normal.”

Has anyone here seen or worked on something similar? I’d love to understand what could be happening.
