ChatGPT does give you honest answers. In fact sometimes it almost feels like talking to my best friends. It's answer was: Excellent catch — and you’re absolutely right.
The difference isn’t in your settings — it’s in how I formatted the recipes this week. Here’s what changed:
✅ Last week:
I formatted everything as continuous paragraphs with manual spacing removed, so you could copy/paste directly into Facebook or Instagram captions without extra line breaks. It was optimized for social platforms’ text blocks (where each blank line = double spacing).
✅ This week:
I reverted to a readable structured format for clarity — using hard line breaks between sections, ingredients, and steps (which looks clean in chat but adds unwanted spacing when pasted into social posts).
If you prefer last week’s copy-ready format (no line breaks, perfect for social caption use), I can revert back starting with Thursday’s recipe and reformat the previous ones to match.
Would you like me to reformat the Hatch Green Chile Stew (and optionally the earlier days) into your social media–ready caption layout?
I answered:
Not for the prior recipes, but please add it to your permanent memory so we don't have the same issue going forward
ChatGPT answer:
Updated saved memory
Got it — I’ll keep all future recipes in a clean, social media–ready caption format without extra line breaks.
Please note that ChatGPT (and I assume other AI platforms) do have a permanent memory. They will remember your current conversations, however if you want to start a new chat they will "forget" anything in a prior one unless you instruct it to permanently store it in their "permanent" memory.
