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…

As per this OpenAi blog post April 25, 2023.

'We've introduced the ability to turn off chat history in ChatGPT. Conversations that are started when chat history is disabled won’t be used to train and improve our models, and won’t appear in the history sidebar. These controls, which are rolling out to all users starting today, can be found in ChatGPT’s settings and can be changed at any time. We hope this provides an easier way to manage your data than our existing opt-out process. When chat history is disabled, we will retain new conversations for 30 days and review them only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting.'

It's the same as copy-pasting the conversation, no?

In the ChatGPT UI, you can't write what the bot says. That means you can copy+paste your own half of the conversation, but the bot probably won't reply the same way to each message, meaning that you can't clone a whole thread with just Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V

Shouldn't copypasting the whole conversation as raw text into your own prompt be the same thing?

When you build a chat with the API you input the whole previous conversation as the prompt in every request.

What's the reasoning behind blocking Saudi Arabia?

Does OpenAI block Saudi or does Saudi block ChatGPT? When I lived there, many many websites were blocked by Saudi, particularly anything to do with Islam. If OpenAI is blocking Saudi, it may be legal compliance as OpenAI is likely not yet confident in their ability to filter conversations about religion in regions where that would be effectively banned. Saudi is currently working very, very hard to limit the spread a…

OpenAI does not offer its services in Saudi Arabia. Saudis are blocked from registering. It's not a government block which works entirely differently and shows you a page explaining that it is blocked.

If it's blocked for political reasons I'd like to understand why, so we can understand their values that allow all those countries on the list but not Saudi.

I was able to register with a US phone number and VPN, but I'm also blocked from actually paying to get an API key.

I find the worry about compliance a thin excuse since a larger company like Microsoft that does have presence in the country offers Bing without issue. Same with SnapChat which has signifianct Saudi investmnet.

I believe it's some kind of misguided political activism.

Don't state things like that factually unless you have some knowledge in that field or at least first hand experience. Regurgitating your impression from second hand stories and media narratives is how you stereotype and other people.

Have you used it? At worst it’s a way better intellisense. I am invested in it being a little more, but not like my robot wife lol. I’m genuinely curious, why does reading about transformer models and chatbot news upset you, and some others?

Its just so repetitive, with the same types of cargo-cult responses to any criticism. Very similar to bitcoin/tesla in how it gets shilled

It's basically the reddit hivemind with built in wikipedia quoting.

I wonder if it is better in languages that never really used wikipedia. Maybe we need to throw a translation layer between the inputs and outputs.

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.

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…

Also for teaching how to "chat most effectively" if you're trying to archive a certain goal.

Group chats is another obvious feature.

Snapchat kinda has this, in that you can @ their AI in a conversation. It's beyond dull though if you try to get it to talk about the people in the conversation, so I'm not sure if it actually gets given any knowledge about it.
