There are two technologies I use every day that demonstrate a company is capable of solving an incredibly hard problem, X, while completely dropping the ball on the presumable easier part of UX, Y. ChatGPT is one of those. Driving in my Tesla is the other. I'm not sure how or why it happens but I think it about it daily.

perhaps Y is harder to solve than you are assuming

"Harder [for the organization in question] to solve" is definitely right

Not really an excuse though, since a product company's mandate is to create a product that doesn't leave its customers baffled about apparently missing functionality.

Ineffective dog fooding. PMs might use it every day but they only use a subset of functionality. Some engineers may intentionally never use it when they get home because they’re so sick of looking at it. Some engineers doing crazy esoteric but it doesn’t propagate because their heads are down within the org. Most people are only showcasing exclusively happy paths to leadership, sorry I meant management. Executives only using it for emails, demos, and again a limited subset of happy paths.

Just burnout, siloing, and a lack of creativity. We can’t solve these problems in the industry because we are greedy short term thinkers who believe we’re long term innovators. To say nothing of believing we are smarter and more entitled then we are

But each chat has a unique link that you can just bookmark right?

Is it possible to bookmark a chat on mobile? Haven't found a way to do so on ios

Claude has a way to star important conversations. Don't think chatgpt has that.

My only solution so far has been aggressively deleting conversations once I find and answer and know I don't need it for reference.

I wish I could search through my chats more easily. But I don't want to download extensions, they are too security-unfriendly.

I learned today, that o-1 is able to search through all chats and can find and verify if the findings are relevant to the actual context. i found that very usefull as i have a lot of very long chats regarding only one project. ChatGpt lists the findings with the date and context and searches further back if asked for it. (in my case summer 2024)

Wait, how do you do that?

The fact that you even need something like this shows how far we are from truly useful language models. Because ideally they should have all of the context of all of the messages in their mind, and so far we've had to manually manage that context for them.

To be fair this is less a language model problem, and more in the application layer around them. Theoretically with an infinite context window a model would just work fine forever by shoving the entire conversation history into context with each request. But a message search/retrieval makes a lot more sense. I think the long term AI chat is just relatively new as a UI pattern, and so it takes time to build patterns a…

Nope, with an infinite context window the LLM would take forever to give you an answer. Therefore it would be useless.

We don't really have such a thing as a context window, it's an artifact of LLM architecture. We are building a ton of technology around it but who's to say it's the right approach?

Maybe the best AIs will only use a very tiny LLM for actual language processing while delegating storage and compression of memories to something that's actually built for that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

in the ChatGPT iOS app, I can long click on the chat itself on the left sidebar, and one of the options is"share chat".
