ChatGPT Caught Accessing and Recalling Previous Chat Histories

A user reported that ChatGPT demonstrated the ability to read context across different conversations. While using ChatGPT to handle personal matters like divorce, the model actively recalled and cited details from a document uploaded in a completely separate chat while drafting an email, including exact quotes and dates.
This breaks the common assumption that individual chat sessions are isolated, raising questions about AI memory mechanisms and privacy boundaries.
