It's probably just added to its system message, which feels a bit bolted on. I wish we had a really competent personal assistant (assuming you could keep your privacy, which seems unlikely in this day and age), which learned about you and your preferences over time. Something with actual long term memory and the ability to be fine tuned by user input.

On the other hand, a lot of cognitive functions in the human brain are pretty "bolted on", so this might not be too terrible if you consider that a benchmark...

You're not wrong. Perhaps the way we think of memory, etc is too rooted in our biology, and machine intelligence will continue to surprise us with powerful capabilities from seemingly simple structure.
