~~~ To the ChatGPT Team ~~~

I'm currently receiving answers FROM OTHER USERS with this new version from 30 Jan, completely unrelated to my question:

After reloading the page, those unrelated answers show up as a "New chat" which has no question, but just those answers. The actual question is in a separate "New chat".

(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.

I don't really see the issue. You are using a service called GhostWrite which uses ChatGPT under the hood. OpenAI/ChatGPT would be considered a sub-processor of GhostWrite. What am I missing?

How are they using ChatGPT - is there an API? Or is this simply abuse of TOS?

They're not using ChatGPT, they're using GPT-3, which has an API. There is a ChatGPT API coming but it's not available yet.

It is infuriating how everyone is describing all GPT models as "ChatGPT". It's very misleading.

Supposedly there is a hidden model that you can use via the API that actually is ChatGPT. One of the libraries mentioned in these comments is using it.
