There was a TV show called Person of Interest that (irrc) had a limitation that it had all its data deleted every night to prevent self awareness. Not to spoil anything but a large part of the plot was how it circumvented that using a method not entirely unlike this. Life imitates art imitates life I guess. I agree about the part where it's a static model - it's effectively the same as using a notebook without memorising what's in the notebook. That doesnt mean it can't generate insightful commentary as a result of a novel way of interacting with itself though, I think?
