    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.

I've also had ChatGPT send me responses to prompts I did not ask. Presumably I was getting responses that were meant for other people, and they were getting mine. edit: Hell, ChatGPT is not even detecting I am a paid subscriber right now. They're giving me the free experience which I have to say is pretty lame.

    If anything, it reminds me of Cloudbleed. In terms of easy AuthZ bypasses from Microsoft, the Azure OMIGOD vulnerability [0] comes to mind, aka "CVE-2021-38647 - Remote Code Execution - Remove the Authentication header and you are root." To be fair to Microsoft, Apple also had one of these (although it only affected your local machine) with CVE-2017-13872 which let you become root by entering the username "root," clicking into the empty password field, and pressing Submit. [1] I'll repeat my comment from upthread: authorization is hard!

  I get those very often. All of last week almost, continuously. Can someone build a better history tracker for ChatGPT please? Something that can keep all conversations in a local searchable DB, and also make accessible via chat interface to an LLM/LangChain agent with tools. Are there alternative ChatGPT clients out there?
  - chatmasta 4y ago
    It seems like it breaks every hour, which I'm guessing is because of some JWT expiration time of 60 minutes. Usually refreshing the page fixes it, but sometimes it's necessary to logout and log back in again. Properly implementing refresh tokens is really not easy. At work we had similar issues on our site for the first few months post-launch and it took a lot of effort to finally fix them.

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.
- evan_ 4y ago
  No, I saw the same thing earlier today as well. I'm aware of the conversation summary functionality, but it showed me a bunch of titles about Starbucks and Cuisine, which I have definitely never had a conversation about. When I clicked them, I got an error message like "Could not load conversation (GUID)", I was not able to read them.
- corobo 4y ago
  Nah, I get what you're saying but not in this case. All of my history was replaced too. My actual history was displaying before it did this, all already had titles. I should have popped over to HN first, I independently whinged about it here :) https://twitter.com/CohanRobinson/status/1637840522210361345 https://twitter.com/CohanRobinson/status/1637840522210361345 I do accept that the new titles may have been randomised rather than someone else's session I guess, though I'd have expected to still be able to load the conversations if it was just a rename thing. There was definitely a glitch of some sort in any case.

Found a interesting post in Chinese with the same image. "Who bought someone else's account on Taobao and was caught? I laughed so hard" apparently. "Taobao Marketplace facilitates consumer-to-consumer retail by providing a platform for small businesses and individual entrepreneurs to open online stores that mainly cater to consumers in Chinese-speaking regions (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and abroad,[5] which is made payable by online accounts.

Not loading history anymore or for that matter chat isn't working as well. The APIs returning 404.
doctoboggan 4y ago
Last time something like this was posted, someone from OpenAI said those weren't other peoples chat history, they were randomly generated chat titles. (which is what happens when you prompt GPT with a blank line)
- hgsgm 4y ago
  It would be fascinating if OpenAI's random chat topics were Chinese Communist propaganda like in screenshots I saw.
- chatmasta 4y ago
  Interesting, that seems plausible. Before I noticed this error, I was getting an error "cannot process two messages at once" whenever I tried to start a chat. Perhaps the root cause is some infinite loop on the frontend spamming blank messages.
- behnamoh 4y ago
  How can this happen in 2023? More importantly, how can a well-funded firm like OpenAI allow such lousy database bug to occur in their system? For all the hatred towards Google, I'm sure at least they wouldn't have this kind of problems once they open their (much more powerful) LLM.

I like how people on Reddit cannot distinguish between ChatGPT itself and its web front end. I thought Reddit is programmer friendly. Has anyone checked if the services using the API have been affected or not?
- dwighttk 4y ago

- addisonl 4y ago
  chatGPT definitely refers to the frontend since their API uses the actual model name (gpt-3.5-turbo) chatGPT isn’t referenced. And their API has been spotty/down all morning.
  - random_cynic 4y ago
    There are literally thousands of chat clients based off their API. So are they also chatGPT or the model they specifically trained and aligned for chat?
    - chatmasta 4y ago
      From a branding perspective I'm not sure it's even clear what ChatGPT is. If GPT-3 is ChatGPT, then what is GPT-4?
      - sebzim4500 4y ago
        I think ChatGPT is just the web ui. So you are using ChatGPT no matter what model it is using. Note that the API docs refer to the chat api as the "OpenAI Chat API" and not the "ChatGPT API".
    - addisonl 4y ago
      OpenAI has chatGPT, a chatbot, that is powered their line of GPT models: GPT-3.5-turbo originally and GPT-4 being the latest. chatGPT went down and is still down as seen on chat.openai.com and status.openai.com OpenAI also has an API which includes chat completion (using GPT models), image generation (DALL-E 2), and more. This has also been down this morning and is still super spotty. Other websites using “GPT” in their name are probably using their GPT models through their API and/or are riding on chatGPT’s incredible success and public exposure.
bcjordan 4y ago
It sounds a lot like a cache issue (CDN caching something from the API layer? new cache sharding? run out of keyspace?). In addition to users reporting other users' summaries, this user and two others report seeing someone else's email address in their pay-to-upgrade flow: https://old.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/11wkw5z/has_chatgpt_or_me_been_hacked_ive_never_had_these/jcyhyit/ https://old.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/11wkw5z/has_chatgp... > When I'm finally able to get the option to upgrade to Plus to work, the contact email is not the email address I used to subscribe. And you can't change it. > EDIT: Got it to load again, and it's a completely different email address now. If I pay, who am I paying for? Which all makes me feel like this could be APIs getting over-cached. Incident status at https://status.openai.com/incidents/jq9232rcmktd https://status.openai.com/incidents/jq9232rcmktd > We are investigating an issue with the ChatGPT web experience. I swear every successful web company has had their cache leaking issues moment right after they've hit product market fit and began scaling up. They've made the big time!

I started to build an iOS client for the "Open"AI API and, while playing with the end-points and the "stream" option, I managed to send an empty prompt. Imagine my surprise when I got back instructions on how to install Roblox. While I understand that any data sent doesn't fall under GDPR protection and the prompts on the chat interface might be used for future training, I was under the impression, based on their data usage policy (https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies) that they don't use data submitted via the API for training. After this incident, I'm having second doubts. On a somewhat related topic, would it be possible to send a prompt to the API in an obfuscated manner, which would be unreadable by a human, but that the neural network can parse (and reply to)?

    Is there any evidence that OpenAI (or any of the big tech companies) are pushing for AI regulation? Seems to me like they instead using it as an excuse to keep all the details as a trade secret, despite their name.

      It's a nice card to have up your sleeve. Likely regulation is coming.
benlivengood 4y ago
Does it matter? None of the chats are private and OpenAI logs all of them.
- simonw 4y ago
  How are the chats not private? OpenAI logging them for debugging and analytical purposes is VERY different from OpenAI making them visible to other users.
skybrian 4y ago
You're interacting with a system that makes up plausible data. When it screws up, it's still going to make up plausible data. It's of course plausible that it's real data, but you can't easily tell by looking at it. This is going to make understanding bugs from the outside more difficult. It's sort of like a built-in honeypot.
paxys 4y ago
Oof. OpenAI running into the familiar drawbacks of "move fast and break things".
steve_adams_86 4y ago
I get that this isn't a trivial service to scale and deploy, but the $20/month fee to use ChatGPT reliably is one of the most unreliable and low-value products I subscribe to. It's basically a toy, and while I'm curious to learn to use it effectively and understand how it might fit into my workflows, I can't help but feel like I'm doing them more of a favour than they are me. It's kind of like ChatGPT Plus is more on the tier of a donation than a legitimate product. Apart from being unreliable, the user interface and experience overall is not that great despite being very simple in its requirements. Things break all the time, user sessions seem to break in unclear ways, now I suppose people are getting the wrong history entries. I want to keep using it in order to learn, but I really dislike paying for such a poorly implemented service. I suppose since there's nothing else like it, we just have to put up with it for the time being.
- sourcecodeplz 4y ago
  I am very happy with the free 3.5 version. Sometimes I use the Bing version for live data.
- hansvm 4y ago
  The API is cheaper (up to around 330 in-depth queries per day), more powerful, easier to use, by definition not subject to the whims of history unavailability, and doesn't seem to be down when the web platform is down. I wasted half a day making a nice frontend, but it was unaffected by today's outage and got better results than when I was restricted to the web UI.

hrpnk 4y ago
I wonder why the chat history isn't persisted in the browser storage and synced just for analytics. Having R/W access via API isn't privacy friendly as we can see. Plus, it's also expensive to scale.

This will bring to the fore all the things that Google does that folks think about as normal features but takes lots of investments to get right. Google would never have a security lapse like this one.

  If anything, it reminds me of Cloudbleed. In terms of easy AuthZ bypasses from Microsoft, the Azure OMIGOD vulnerability [0] comes to mind, aka "CVE-2021-38647 - Remote Code Execution - Remove the Authentication header and you are root." To be fair to Microsoft, Apple also had one of these (although it only affected your local machine) with CVE-2017-13872 which let you become root by entering the username "root," clicking into the empty password field, and pressing Submit. [1] I'll repeat my comment from upthread: authorization is hard!

I get those very often. All of last week almost, continuously. Can someone build a better history tracker for ChatGPT please? Something that can keep all conversations in a local searchable DB, and also make accessible via chat interface to an LLM/LangChain agent with tools. Are there alternative ChatGPT clients out there?
- chatmasta 4y ago
  It seems like it breaks every hour, which I'm guessing is because of some JWT expiration time of 60 minutes. Usually refreshing the page fixes it, but sometimes it's necessary to logout and log back in again. Properly implementing refresh tokens is really not easy. At work we had similar issues on our site for the first few months post-launch and it took a lot of effort to finally fix them.

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.

evan_ 4y ago
No, I saw the same thing earlier today as well. I'm aware of the conversation summary functionality, but it showed me a bunch of titles about Starbucks and Cuisine, which I have definitely never had a conversation about. When I clicked them, I got an error message like "Could not load conversation (GUID)", I was not able to read them.
corobo 4y ago
Nah, I get what you're saying but not in this case. All of my history was replaced too. My actual history was displaying before it did this, all already had titles. I should have popped over to HN first, I independently whinged about it here :) https://twitter.com/CohanRobinson/status/1637840522210361345 https://twitter.com/CohanRobinson/status/1637840522210361345 I do accept that the new titles may have been randomised rather than someone else's session I guess, though I'd have expected to still be able to load the conversations if it was just a rename thing. There was definitely a glitch of some sort in any case.

Found a interesting post in Chinese with the same image. "Who bought someone else's account on Taobao and was caught? I laughed so hard" apparently.

Not loading history anymore or for that matter chat isn't working as well. The APIs returning 404.

doctoboggan 4y ago

Last time something like this was posted, someone from OpenAI said those weren't other peoples chat history, they were randomly generated chat titles. (which is what happens when you prompt GPT with a blank line)

hgsgm 4y ago
It would be fascinating if OpenAI's random chat topics were Chinese Communist propaganda like in screenshots I saw.
chatmasta 4y ago
Interesting, that seems plausible. Before I noticed this error, I was getting an error "cannot process two messages at once" whenever I tried to start a chat. Perhaps the root cause is some infinite loop on the frontend spamming blank messages.
behnamoh 4y ago
How can this happen in 2023? More importantly, how can a well-funded firm like OpenAI allow such lousy database bug to occur in their system? For all the hatred towards Google, I'm sure at least they wouldn't have this kind of problems once they open their (much more powerful) LLM.

I like how people on Reddit cannot distinguish between ChatGPT itself and its web front end. I thought Reddit is programmer friendly. Has anyone checked if the services using the API have been affected or not?

dwighttk 4y ago

addisonl 4y ago
chatGPT definitely refers to the frontend since their API uses the actual model name (gpt-3.5-turbo) chatGPT isn’t referenced. And their API has been spotty/down all morning.
- random_cynic 4y ago
  There are literally thousands of chat clients based off their API. So are they also chatGPT or the model they specifically trained and aligned for chat?
  - chatmasta 4y ago
    From a branding perspective I'm not sure it's even clear what ChatGPT is. If GPT-3 is ChatGPT, then what is GPT-4?
    - sebzim4500 4y ago
      I think ChatGPT is just the web ui. So you are using ChatGPT no matter what model it is using. Note that the API docs refer to the chat api as the "OpenAI Chat API" and not the "ChatGPT API".
  - addisonl 4y ago
    OpenAI has chatGPT, a chatbot, that is powered their line of GPT models: GPT-3.5-turbo originally and GPT-4 being the latest. chatGPT went down and is still down as seen on chat.openai.com and status.openai.com OpenAI also has an API which includes chat completion (using GPT models), image generation (DALL-E 2), and more. This has also been down this morning and is still super spotty. Other websites using “GPT” in their name are probably using their GPT models through their API and/or are riding on chatGPT’s incredible success and public exposure.

bcjordan 4y ago

It sounds a lot like a cache issue (CDN caching something from the API layer? new cache sharding? run out of keyspace?). In addition to users reporting other users' summaries, this user and two others report seeing someone else's email address in their pay-to-upgrade flow: https://old.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/11wkw5z/has_chatgpt_or_me_been_hacked_ive_never_had_these/jcyhyit/ https://old.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/11wkw5z/has_chatgp... > When I'm finally able to get the option to upgrade to Plus to work, the contact email is not the email address I used to subscribe. And you can't change it. > EDIT: Got it to load again, and it's a completely different email address now. If I pay, who am I paying for? Which all makes me feel like this could be APIs getting over-cached. Incident status at https://status.openai.com/incidents/jq9232rcmktd https://status.openai.com/incidents/jq9232rcmktd > We are investigating an issue with the ChatGPT web experience.

This issue pops up somewhat commonly with web services that decide to add a reverse-proxy CDN but don't put the "Cache-Control: private" header on all HTTP endpoints that return data specific to the logged in user.

I started to build an iOS client for the "Open"AI API and, while playing with the end-points and the "stream" option, I managed to send an empty prompt. Imagine my surprise when I got back instructions on how to install Roblox. While I understand that any data sent doesn't fall under GDPR protection and the prompts on the chat interface might be used for future training, I was under the impression, based on their data usage policy (https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies) that they don't use data submitted via the API for training. After this incident, I'm having second doubts. On a somewhat related topic, would it be possible to send a prompt to the API in an obfuscated manner, which would be unreadable by a human, but that the neural network can parse (and reply to)?

vagabund 4y ago

Does not necessarily inspire confidence that the organization which self-describes their AI containment challenge as an existential threat to humanity can't secure users' chat histories.

benlivengood 4y ago

Does it matter? None of the chats are private and OpenAI logs all of them.

simonw 4y ago
How are the chats not private? OpenAI logging them for debugging and analytical purposes is VERY different from OpenAI making them visible to other users.

skybrian 4y ago

You're interacting with a system that makes up plausible data. When it screws up, it's still going to make up plausible data. It's of course plausible that it's real data, but you can't easily tell by looking at it. This is going to make understanding bugs from the outside more difficult. It's sort of like a built-in honeypot.

paxys 4y ago

steve_adams_86 4y ago

I get that this isn't a trivial service to scale and deploy, but the $20/month fee to use ChatGPT reliably is one of the most unreliable and low-value products I subscribe to. It's basically a toy, and while I'm curious to learn to use it effectively and understand how it might fit into my workflows, I can't help but feel like I'm doing them more of a favour than they are me. It's kind of like ChatGPT Plus is more on the tier of a donation than a legitimate product. Apart from being unreliable, the user interface and experience overall is not that great despite being very simple in its requirements. Things break all the time, user sessions seem to break in unclear ways, now I suppose people are getting the wrong history entries. I want to keep using it in order to learn, but I really dislike paying for such a poorly implemented service. I suppose since there's nothing else like it, we just have to put up with it for the time being.

sourcecodeplz 4y ago
I am very happy with the free 3.5 version. Sometimes I use the Bing version for live data.
hansvm 4y ago
The API is cheaper (up to around 330 in-depth queries per day), more powerful, easier to use, by definition not subject to the whims of history unavailability, and doesn't seem to be down when the web platform is down. I wasted half a day making a nice frontend, but it was unaffected by today's outage and got better results than when I was restricted to the web UI.

hrpnk 4y ago

I wonder why the chat history isn't persisted in the browser storage and synced just for analytics. Having R/W access via API isn't privacy friendly as we can see. Plus, it's also expensive to scale.
