TL;DR<\/p>\n

ChatGPT has rolled out a Spotify-style \u201cYour Year with ChatGPT\u201d recap in the US and select regions for users with chat history and memory enabled.
\nThe recap highlights your biggest themes, usage stats, and chat style through a multi-page, interactive experience.
\nIt is fun and insightful, but for heavy users, it can also double as an unexpected reality check.<\/p>\n

ChatGPT has now rolled out its own end-of-year wrap-up here in the US and a few other select regions, taking obvious inspiration from services like Spotify. The new \u201cYour Year with ChatGPT\u201d feature is available for free, Plus, and Pro plans that have the \u201creference saved memories\u201d and \u201creference chat history\u201d options turned on and have used the service regularly enough to make it worth it.<\/p>\n

The experience works a bit differently from a typical ChatGPT conversation, as it\u2019s divided into several pages that start with \u201cyour year in poetry\u201d. This is a brief poem that is supposed to highlight your year. Mine talked about prepaid services, towers, editing, alternate timelines, dinosaurs, and many other things, all curated into a poem that made as little sense as my usage history with ChatGPT in the first place.<\/p>\n

As I dived in, ChatGPT had several insights, including big themes I explored that year.\u00a0 In my case, this included Creative Worlds, What-Ifs, and Reflection and Routines. For people who are less odd than myself, the themes are probably more focused on work and productivity, I\u2019d wager.<\/p>\n

Recently, I wrote about how ChatGPT had become a major timesuck for me<\/a>, similar to how many endlessly scroll through social media. As part of an effort to reduce my AI use, I have largely stayed away from ChatGPT Plus over the last few weeks and used free LLMs for basic stuff on the rare instances where I needed it. That said, I heard about the wrap-up and was curious enough that I had to check it out. It was the third page in the recap that really made me weep for my wasted life, though.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t get into all my chat stats, but let\u2019s just say I am in the top 1% of all messages sent. The number of messages is also insanely high, but I want to maintain the little self-respect remaining here, and I\u2019ll leave the number out of it. I\u2019m sufficiently ashamed of it, don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n

As for my Chat Style? According to ChatGPT, I \u201cspeak with thoughtful curiosity, mixing realism, imagination, and humor while exploring ideas deeply yet conversationally across science, history, and daily life.\u201d In other words, it thinks I\u2019m a nerd (correct read I\u2019d say).<\/p>\n

That\u2019s far from all the stuff that the recap goes through. For example, it awarded me stuff like \u201cMost Likely to Turn a Phone Plan into a Philosophy,\u201d apparently. It also gives you insights into your user archetype, generates a photo that sums up your experience with it, and makes a prediction for the next year. And of course, you can ask it questions and further insights about the year as well.<\/p>\n

If you use ChatGPT regularly, I definitely recommend checking it out. It\u2019s a fun little time waster. At the very least, you might realize you need to get outside more and stop hiding in your office, or at least that was my realization.<\/p>\n
