Reply to comment by SparroHawc in Scientists Taught an AI to ‘Sleep’ So That It Doesn't Forget What It Learned, Like a Person. Researchers say counting sleep may be the best way for AIs to exhibit life-long learning. by mossadnik
How does it “forget”? It’s a computer. Computers store data or delete data, no? They don’t forget.

Unless explicitly saved, the previous patterns are overwritten by the newer ones

You're thinking in terms of traditional computing. What this is referring to is learning neural networks. They operate very differently by design.

Sure, but the coders are going to instruct the program to save important learned data, not allow it to be overwritten.

The way it learnt was by setting a few million floating point values to some number sequence.
If that number sequence changes it might no longer be able to perform the original task it learnt.
