OpenAI introduces “Santa Mode” to ChatGPT for ho-ho-ho voice chats - Ars Technica:

The conversations with Santa exist as temporary chats that won’t save to chat history or affect the model’s memory. OpenAI designed this limitation specifically for the holiday feature. Keep that in mind, because if you let your kids talk to Santa, the AI simulation won’t remember what kids have told it during previous conversations.

As an uncle who would spend money on the Santa Clause app every year in an attempt to spark a little magic, this is cool. As a person who lives and breathes, eh. I don’t want my nephew’s voice bouncing around some GPU for all eternity as part of a training set.
