A recent issue with ChatGPT is if the back-end has a failure, it seems to squish multiple prompts together into one message.
This has the effect of making the active session seem rather stupid.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. This is intermittent, so replication steps are difficult to provide, it occurs on the back-end.

Expected Result

User: Please respond exactly with: "OKAY."
GPT: OKAY.
User: Please respond exactly with: "WHY!?!"
GPT: WHY!?!

Actual Result

User: Please respond exactly with: "OKAY."
GPT: OKAY.
User: Please respond exactly with: "WHY!?!"
GPT: OKAY.

WHY!?!

Refreshing the page when you see this kind of behavior replaces the session with:

User: Please respond exactly with: "OKAY."
Please respond exactly with: "WHY!?!"
GPT: OKAY.

WHY!?!

Often the aggregated user message would lose its edit button, requiring the user to go further up the chat hierarchy to make an edit.

Sometimes, if this bug shows up, and it only affects the final message from GPT, you end up with a terminated message.
For example:

User: Please respond exactly with: "OKAY."
GPT: OKAY.

Refreshing the page would give you:

User: Please respond exactly with: "OKAY."
There was an error generating a response
Regenerate

The net effect of this bug is the Chat GPT service appears to have memory issues, and repeats itself on questions you've already asked it.

This issue is severe, persistent, and reduces the utility of the tool.
