How ChatGPT Transforms Memory

Earlier today I was reading a book and struggling to memorize six different concepts. So I turned to ChatGPT for help. It suggested turning each concept into an image, like a star for significance, a thumbs up for approval, and a handshake for acceptance, then it created a simple story. A bright star shines over a village where people give each other a thumbs up and shake hands. This story made everything easy to remember. ChatGPT has been a game changer for me helping with memory, creativity, and even health advice. Today, we will explore how AI like ChatGPT can help you in ways you never imagined.

Earlier today, I was reading a book. And I wanted to kind of memorize some of the concepts from the book. And it was really challenging to me because there were like six different things I had to remember. So I actually use ChatGPT to help me out with that by helping me come up with images for each one of the concepts to represent the concept because it’s easier to remember pictures than it is to remember the words and numbers and then turn the images into a story. So for example, we all have a need, a three primary needs actually, we have a need for significance, for approval and acceptance. Now what does that mean? What are those needs, and how do you remember them? So the need for significance to feel like you matter, to feel a certain level of power, certain level of presence, the need for approval is the need for getting recognition.

So when a child is walking up to you, when your child is walking up to you with a piece of paper with a drawing of an airplane, and you know it looks ugly, but the child is like, hey Mommy airplane, like the child needs to hear oh, Timmy great work, let me put this on the fridge. That’s the need for approval that we all have even as adults. And at the same time, there’s also need for acceptance, which refers to different membership groups, affinities and being accepted into a bigger group of people. So I felt excluded. For example, in high school because I was an immigrant from Ukraine, I still spoke with a heavy accent in Hebrew back in Israel. And so I felt really excluded. And I did not get that, you know, acceptance fulfilled. So I got that changed later on when I became an email marketer, when I became a list builder and became an Internet marketer, I became a part of a bigger community of nomads, of people who kind of call the shots work from home, you know, write their own ticket. 

3:03

And part of why I wanted to be that way is because I was rebelling against everybody else. I wanted to be a part of this bigger group. So how do you remember all that? The way you remember it is to turn each one of these concepts into an image. So I asked ChatGPT. Hey, can you help me remember? And the first thing it does, it says, okay, so significance, we’re going to represent it with a star, because you if you’re the star, you’re significant, makes sense, then the approval part that we seek approval and recognition, we’re going to represent it with the thumbs up emoji, right? So if I’m giving approval to somebody, I’m giving them a thumbs up and the need for acceptance, we’re going to represent it with a handshake, okay? So if you want to accept somebody into your group, you shake their hand or you hug them, and you bring them into the group.

So now you’ve got one mechanism that chatGPT is now using to help me remember this. And then it actually went a step further and said, Now let’s turn this into a story. Now why is that? Because stories are powerful. Stories are actually made to make ideas stick, they are made to connect people. They’re made to convey important ideas in a way that’s memorable and we are wired the brain is wired to remember stories. If you’re if the highest chances of you importing any kind of knowledge on anyone would probably be with a story, kind of like what I’m doing right now by telling you a story about how I wanted to remember this and it all becomes a big story. So ChatGPT comes up with a story saying a bright star shines over a village where the people give each other thumbs up and shake hands, now, one sentence a story though, but one sentence that you can use to remember these concepts. 

5:30

Now, given that there are actually six concepts, and not three, there’s three primary and three secondary ones, the story’s a little bit longer, and there’s three more images. But you get the point. And you see, I know these things, because I’ve studied memory techniques. There’s a great guy out there, his name is Jim Quick, he’s got a course for 1000 bucks. I bought it. And I’ve learned all kinds of memory techniques, because my memory and my friends will attest to it being absolute garbage. It’s not great. It’s garbage. It can’t be relied on. I literally forget, like to do the simplest of things, like my wife will tell me you need to pick up Chris at 5pm today, and it is within an hour. I don’t know. Like I’m texting her when am I late? It’s just so terrible. So I learned some memory techniques. And so I know these techniques work. 

6:06

But if I didn’t know that, I would just go to ChatGPT and say, hey, help me remember this. And it already knows everything. So it would turn things into an image during it. And just the story, you know, helped me craft some additional stuff will tell me Okay, so if you don’t remember things, you can actually place data into parts of your room and your space. And you guys know this is true. Because if you ever walk around your house, okay, with a phone and talking to somebody, then you get off the phone, and you forget what you were talking about. 

7:00

But when you go back into the room where you were when you were talking to that person, you’ll remember because places have memories and we can tap into that. So chatGPT has been extremely helpful in all areas of life. ChatGPT has been my best friend, my therapist, my creative director, my, you know, my marriage counselor, my health specialist. I actually used to diagnose conditions of all kinds like my stomach hurts today. And last night, I had this and this and this and this is like oh yeah, you had oysters yesterday. And then you had, you know, tiramisu. So you combine mascarpone with oysters and that’s not good. That’s why you’re having belly aches. You should do this, it’s amazing.
