Most normal people want the LLM to remember their interests and favourite things, so they don't have to manually re-explain when asking for advice.

They also don't know what "context" is or that the LLM has a limited number of tokens it can understand at any given time. They just believe it knows everything at once.

Do you have example prompts where this would be usual? Why would you want an LLM to know your favorite type of cheese? Now that I say that, I guess if you use it for recipes then it's useful if it remembers things like dietary restrictions. And even then a project seems like the better option.

I can't think of much else though so I'm still curious what you or others use it for.
