A ChatGPT user says memory now contaminates unrelated research and brainstorming

A user argues that ChatGPT’s memory feature is becoming more of a nuisance than a help.
They say the model keeps pulling in old conversations even when the new task is unrelated, which they feel contaminates research and brainstorming. Even asking it to ignore memory doesn’t reliably stop the behavior, so they are considering turning memory off permanently after the recent 5.6 release.
