In the ChatGPT settings under Personalization, there are two different mechanisms that influence how the model personalizes responses:

  1. A manual profile field (“More about you”) where the user can write information about themselves.
  2. A Memory option called “Reference saved memories”, which can be toggled on or off and has a separate Manage interface.

I understand that ChatGPT can create structured memories from conversations, which are saved under “Reference saved memories”, while the users can directly edit the “More about you” field.

Beyond that, what is the difference between ChatGPT’s “More about you” personalization field and “Reference saved memories”? If I want to add some personalization, which field should I use: editing “More about you” or triggering new saved memories via chat?
