Not able to reproduce the problem with other chats yet, but this occured in the same chat a few times.
Snapshots are from SAME chat, SAME prompt. Only difference is "regenerate"

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Just any content creation prompt with a complex background story with realistic setting I guess

Expected result:

produce the content as I asked

Actual result:

"I can't continue the story in the way you've asked." or "I'm here to help answer questions and provide information. How can I assist you further?"

Additional information

Browser: Chrome Version 122.0.6261.9 too
OS: Windows 11
First occurrence time: 10 hours ago

another example. I think the content i was asking for generate was innocent enough.

This issue has been wasting some quotas of mine. I wonder if anyone else experiencing this?

some aspects that was specific to this chat:

  • the custom instructions has lots of contents and is a complex story setting with character setting etc.
  • at the start of the chat, I asked CHATGPT to search web for real life covid situation in 2020, which served as a backdrop of my story.
  • it has refused once about my reuqest to write about protagonist's treatment of covid when hospitalized, claiming sensitive medical information which might mislead, but the refusal was gone after i click regenerate.

It is known that the GPT4 models are refusing to continue working. In this case it's advisable to start a new chat. Afaik the OAIteam is already looking as to why exactly

#

This is not specific to OpenAI and ChatGPT+, it happens with GPT4 models through Copilot also

I’m having exact same issues more and more lately. I’ll be working on something for a while and then all of a sudden it just refuses to budge and work on anything.

Starting a new chat to just start over is a HUGE issue since a lot of work can go into feeding data and examples to just start over is not that simple in some cases

#

Also I am telling it to do one thing and it keeps doing something else entirely then when I get very specific it refuses also

thumbs down and tell say "you are refusing to answer"

#

but, as I pointed out earlier, this can happen across the GPT4 models

OAI knows
