In order to get around some of the challenges I am facing, I'd like to use the prompt or history parameters that ChatGPT often recommends when I ask it how to do certain tasks but it looks like those features are unavailable. Can someone please tell us when and if either of these features are scheduled to return?
#What happened to history and context parameters?

Can you show me what it says about the history parameter? Afaik, there is no history parameter or a way to provide "context" to the model apart from the actual prompt itself

When did you use context and history? as far as I know it was never part of it

you can use these features with gptalk https://github.com/0ut0flin3/GPTalk

Unfortunately it gives me a different response each time I ask but several times ChatGPT has mentioned context and history parameters. Now it's telling me about a conversation_id which probably doesn't exist either.
tawdry cypress
Yeah, don't use ChatGPT to do development with the apis lol it just makes things up
conversation_id doesn't exist

It seems to be pretty firmly opinionated on the existence of these parameters at the time of its creation, so I think they were removed at some point. It's a shame, because they would be very useful.
tawdry cypress
No, I don't think they were removed at any point, these sort of parameters never existed, it's hallucinating information to serve your request even though the information is not factual
wheat swallow
yes, it's AI fantasy. It was quite convincing to me too, it said you have to use the sessionid to continue the thread and gave the code to it :DDD

Someone just said in a other room on here that when it's not stuck in a traffic jam other times of day it seems to be more contextual is this just a misinterpretation of user?

Yes, just a misinterpretation of the user

Yes, just a misinterpretation of the user
Thankyou appreciate it
@tawdry cypress is this on a different version maybe?
Oh it's being polite so it sounds like it knows you lol I got it
It's programed to be relatable so providing a sense of context helps someone feel heard
Which is why it appears as tho its being different.. Nice

I interrogated it pretty hard and at seemed quite adamant that these features existed in the documentation at one time or another. My guess is that this functionality was either removed, or perhaps never intended for public use. It isn't too hard to imagine that such endpoints might be in use in something like ChatGPT which maintains a conversation history. (time to snoop the network tab in my browser!!)
That said, there is a library called GPT Index which seems to overcome this challenge quite handily.

This doesn't mean that the features existed, like we mentioned earlier ChatGPT Is very good at lying to you and making things up. ChatGPT uses a different model underlying than the other APIs. conversation_id, context, and history are very easy things to lie about confidently. Also, this doesn't make sense, there shouldn't be both a context and a history
gpt-index is great! I use it in a project currently
