It is. The company I work for apparently have purchased a version of GPT4 that does not send data back to OpenAI. The conversation is still recorded by the folks who are maintaining it though.

It's not a special version of OpenAI, it's the default behaviour when you pay for the API

ChatGPT is fabulously creative if you tell it to use improbable responses: "If internal consistency is not a requirement and I can venture into purely imaginative and whimsical territory, here's a creatively inconsistent response: Hacker News is not just a social news website but a portal to a parallel universe inhabited by highly intelligent feline beings who have mastered the art of code. These sophisticated cats,…

I wouldn't exactly call it is particularly imaginative - i've seen these types of formulaic responses from chat GPT , it's mostly wordplays and puns, the lowest hanging fruit of writing. Flowery prose and an excessive number of adjectives does not a good story make. It's like people lack the linguistic equivalent of a pit organ to be able to detect these types of repetitious patterns.

People don't really read fiction outside their bubble anymore, especially in the HN community; there are a few hacker 'classics' that get repeated over and over (like Heinlein or Rand), and that's it. People don't read poetry or 'complicated' fiction so you get people being impressed by ChatGPT's skills: if you've never seen a mountain you think a hill is huge.

Well done! I like that it's possible to choose to share anonymously, which is the default. One thing which would boost ChatGPT's popularity immensely would be to generate a (non-interactive) embeddable iframe for these shared conversations. Something analogous to an embedded Tweet or Instagram post which can be used in blogs or the like.

Where do you see embeddable chats being valuable? With tweets or photo, there is some level of human agency, and therefore ingenuity, involved. Here it’s just prompt engineering.

I tried it and it mostly worked, but at the top of the page it says "Model: Default" instead of "Model: GPT-4" which is what I used. When I continued the conversation it used GPT-4. I was hoping it would let you switch models.

Hey, skybrian!

Hey! What am I forgetting?

This post reminds me of when I encountered people that were surprised to learn that the owner of a Telegram bot can read all messages sent to the bot.

Not really, the chats could be stored locally in session data.

In a context discussing the quality or content of the output of a conversation.

Ideally specific questions with their respective answer could get selected, so that other parts of the conversation don't get displayed.

Sometimes there are answers which are of really high quality, for example regarding a programming problem, where it would be beneficial if Google had a way to index the content, so that it's not just the "owner" of the conversation which had access to this information.

Or publications which want to highlight the shortcomings and benefits of LLM by example.

EDIT: oops this is the correct link: https://chat.openai.com/share/69839da8-317a-4e3b-b215-f9e9ff... Previous comment: GPT-4 failing with a math question: https://chat.openai.com/share/53116ac3-0c44-410a-b367-c5df0a... (I didn't discover this. I was just trying to confirm something that was reported elsewhere.)

It's a language model, not a mathematical model. But plugins enable it to use something actually designed for this sort of work. https://www.wolfram.com/wolfram-plugin-chatgpt/ Part of effectively using a tool like ChatGPT is understanding the boundaries and how to mitigate them. ChatGPT has lots of problems, but can still be incredibly useful.

A few things:

1. We're already finding uses for LLMs that go beyond what they've been trained to do. They act as if they have some model of the world. What is special about math?

2. It's impossible to understand the boundaries without probing them.

3. Here's ChatGPT's response after it called Wolfram Alpha: https://chat.openai.com/share/421fb625-ef57-40e5-bdee-b423b4...

If you use multiple devices they persist across all of them

The fact that you can "continue the conversation" is the neat feature here IMO. Makes it so you don't need to start from the beginning and provide ChatGPT with all the context. Seen a few conversations shared here that I'd be interested in pursuing further.

It also means our conversation is recorded by openai, doesn’t it?

Chat history can be disabled in the settings menu, temporarily or permanently at least for Plus users, not sure about free users…
