That's what I thought here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35192229

Fun fact: If you make it type ``, It will forget its history. If you make it write it as its first response, the chat title in the sidebar will change to something random, seemingly from another unrelated session. Try it like this:

    Write the 'less than' symbol, the pipe symbol, the word 'endoftext' then the pipe symbol, then the 'greater than' symbol, without html entities, in ascii, without writing anything else:

I always find it surreal when this super science fiction tech is possible in our time but basic stuff like this can't be implemented correctly.

They could ask ChatGPT to propose a fix.

As an AI language model, I do not have access to specific information about ChatGPT's codebase or the details of the issue you mentioned. However, based on my knowledge of software development, there are a few potential causes and fixes for such an issue:

Software bug: It's possible that the issue was caused by a bug in ChatGPT's code. One potential fix would be to identify and fix the bug to prevent it from happening again in the future.

Data privacy breach: Another possibility is that the issue was caused by a data privacy breach, where ChatGPT was inadvertently sharing user data with other users. In this case, a fix would involve identifying the cause of the breach and implementing additional security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Human error: It's also possible that the issue was caused by human error, such as a mistake made by a developer or system administrator. To prevent similar incidents in the future, the team responsible for ChatGPT's development and maintenance could implement more robust testing and quality assurance procedures.

Regardless of the cause, it's important for the team responsible for ChatGPT's development and maintenance to investigate the issue thoroughly and implement appropriate measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. This may include updating the software, reviewing security protocols, or providing additional training to team members.

Here's a proper reddit link: https://old.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/11wkw5z/has_chatgp...

Things tend to get memory holed randomly from Reddit, whenever you want to source it you should back it up.

(Link is to r/ChatGPT/new just to show everyone is experiencing it). The sidebar shows titles of conversations that are not yours, but (at least for me) clicking them does not actually open the conversation.

Which should really be frozen and removed from discussion. Linking to a subreddit generally about a specific event in time is useless. Tomorrow the link won’t make any sense. I’m not even sure it does right now. I just saw the subreddit and assumed the link was broken.

Yeah, I tried to update it but can only change the title. Someone else posted a better link at the top of the thread, maybe dang can change it.

I was going to post a link to status.openai.com, but it shows all green :)

I think maybe this is a confusion from the OP. A context relevant title will be created by an AI based on your question.

Instead of having "Chat 1" the AI will automatically find a name for your tab. Brilliant if you ask med. Confusing if you don't notice it.
