NPCs that are convincing if you ignore the fact that they only can remember less than 5 minutes of interaction because they lack long-term context due to the nature of LLMs?

I'm not sure if lonely people would rather talk to an Alzheimers anime girl or be alone.

Having the NPC store some notes about previous conversations or look up stuff in the chat history doesn't seem impossible. Also if you don't want to build a relationship but just chat a bit you don't need long term memory.
