I’ve noticed that being a registered member (which I’m not) creates a chat history. This could be useful because future questions would be in context, whereas without registration, that context is lost. Another advantage is gaining access to GPT-4.0 instead of 3.5, though that’s less important to me.

But what exactly does Chat GPT gain from registered users gain? Is it more beneficial for the platform’s shareholders? After all, regardless of registration, they can probably trace interactions back to you anyway, right?

Maybe so the move to paid becomes smaller?

I prefer to have the chat history saved if they are able to get the same information with registered vs unregistered.
