~~~ To the ChatGPT Team ~~~ I'm currently receiving answers FROM OTHER USERS with this new version from 30 Jan, completely unrelated to my question: Q: Why is it easier for me to do endurance training on an empty stomach?

One of the problems people have mentioned for deep learning systems generally is they tend to be maintenance nightmares. I get the impression that openAI had a lot of resources on-hand when they released ChatGPT that they used to fix problem using reinforcement learning and methods that I'd imagine were more adhoc than the original training process. Hence it seems likely the system winds-up fairly brittle.

Adding on to this, I've experienced the same. Seems to be a new bug as of Sunday's release.

    Mm. Good to know.

  Had similar issue since the release. Distinct issue that I wasn't facing prior to update.

I had a bug the other day where the whole site was broken because the JS files actually contained HTML - it's kind of funny how the worlds most hyped engineering org still struggles with a basic Web app.

This has occasionally happened to me as well, from the beginning.

(I work at OpenAI.) Thanks for the report — these are not actually messages from other users, but instead the model generating something ~random due to hitting a bug on our backend where, rather than submitting your question, we submitted an empty query to the model. That's why you see just the answers and no question upon refresh — the question has been effectively dropped for this request. Team is fixing the issue so this doesn't happen in the future!

  While I have your ear, please implement some way to do third party integrations safely. There’s a tool called GhostWrite which autocompletes emails for you, powered by ChatGPT. But I can’t use it, because that would mean letting some random company get access to all my emails. The same thing happened with code. There’s a ChatGPT integration for pycharm, but I can’t use it since it’ll be uploading the code to someone other than OpenAI. This problem may seem unsolvable, but there are a few reasons to take it seriously. E.g. you’re outsourcing your reputation to third party companies. The moment one of these companies breaches user trust, people will be upset at you in addition to them. Everyone’s data goes to Google when they use Google. But everyone’s data goes to a bunch of random companies when they use ChatGPT. The implications of this seem to be pretty big.

    Tl;dr "Dear CTO, let me leech onto this unrelated topic to ask you to completely remove ways you gather data (even though it's the core way you create any of your products)." Some people man..

      I think you may have misread. The goal is to protect end users from random companies taking your data. OpenAI themselves should be the ones to get the data, not the other companies. That wouldn't remove anything. Quite the contrary, they'd be in a stronger position for it, since the companies won't have access to e.g. your email, or your code, whereas OpenAI will. I'm fine trusting OpenAI with that kind of sensitive info. But right now there are several dozen new startups launching every month, all powered by ChatGPT. And they're all vying for me to send them a different aspect of my life, whether it's email or code or HN comments. Surely we can agree that HN comments are fine to send to random companies, but emails aren't. I suspect that this pattern is going to become a big issue in the near future. Maybe I'll turn out to be wrong about that. It's also not my choice in most cases. I want to use ChatGPT in a business context. But that means the company I work for needs to also be ok with sending their confidential information to random companies. Who would possibly agree to such a thing? And that's a big segment of the market lost. Whereas I think companies would be much more inclined to say "Ok, but as long as OpenAI are the only ones to see it." Just like they're fine with Google holding their email. Or I'm completely wrong about this and users/companies don't care about privacy at all. I'd be surprised, but I admit that's a possibility. Maybe ChatGPT will be that good.

I'm struggling to see what made you think these answers came from other users. They're unrelated to your question, but they're still pretty clearly generated content. The blog post info-bullet style of talking is trademark AI.
