Bug Report: Being redirected to the login screen when using ChatGPT online logged-out.
`Steps to Reproduce`

If you open chatgpt.com in a private browsing window and talk with it for a little bit, I personally haven't been able to ask it more than 7 questions in a row before an error appears on screen for a split second, my conversation is deleted, and I am redirected to the log-in page. It's extremely annoying. I believe it may be due to my IP address being updated every minute or so due to Apple's Private Relay. Hopefully, this is just a bug and not a feature, as changing IP addresses is common.

`Expected Result`

I would expect to be able to continue my conversation without interruption.

`Actual Result`

After a few questions (and the IP address is updated), an error is shown for a split second, the chat is deleted, and the user is redirected to the login screen.

`Environment`

Browser on Safari in a Private Browsing window.

I can't really send a screenshot of it happening, because it shows the error as it starts to redirect to the login screen XP. I’d have to be super fast, and I don't think I have good enough reflexes for that haha.

Here's a screen recording of the error and the redirect.

I think I may be due to Apple's Private Relay feature updating my IP address. Perhaps transitioning away from sessions validated through an IP address would be a good idea. You could provide a temporary chat session key to be stored as a cookie, or even just in the client's JS or HTML instead of relying on an IP address. Please fix this qwp.
