There is a clearly visible "Share" buttons in every ChatGPT discussion. It allows to anonymously share exact message sequence (it does not show number of retries, but that's the best you can show). If you see cropped ChatGPT screenshot or photo in Twitter/X, consider it as a hoax, because there are no reasons to use screenshots.

What about the reason of "followers can read it in their feed without navigating away to a separate domain"?

When I’m sharing something to a friend, or via social media I pretty much 99% of th time hit the screenshot button. That’s not at all unusual.

I clicked on such a link in the comments here. It asked me to log in. I don’t have an account and am not _that_ curious. I can see why people use screenshots. (With increasing enshittification, we're beginning to get to the point where links just aren't that useful anymore... Everything's a login wall now.)

In addition to the sibling comments, posts with external links get lower priority in your feed and posts with images get more interactions.

  I may understand why Twitter algorithm may recommend such posts to other people. What I don't understand is why this over-sensationalist "ChatGPT has gone berserk" post with NO analysis whatsoever, a collection of Twitter screenshots, where every tweet contains another screenshot/photo (interactions collector without any context), why this post has any place on HN, other than in [flagkilled] dustbin.

> because there are no reasons to use screenshots Except for the recipients having to create an OpenAI account to read it with that "share" feature. Which they do not have to do if using a screenshot. Seems like an extremely good reason.

  When did they change that? I believe viewing share links didn’t require an account originally.

Yeah sometimes there's (relatively) private information in the rest of the message sequence that I don't mind sharing with OpenAI (with use-for-training turned off) but I don't want to go out of my way to share with all my friends / everyone else in the world.
