Hey everyone, I've been having a frustrating issue with ChatGPT lately. I tried to get some help writing a press release about a topic, but instead, it randomly delivered a script about backing up a remote server, and then it switched to writing in French! I'm certain my prompt was clear, so I'm wondering if this strange behavior started after the recent rollout of the memory feature. It feels like it's mixing contexts from other chats or forgetting what I asked altogether. Has anyone else experienced this with the new memory feature? Any tips on how to manage this or fix it? Can we reset it to avoid previous chats influencing new ones? I just want it to focus on my current question without any unrelated responses.

Yes, I'm experiencing the same kinds of mix-ups. I posted about it recently too—feels like we're on the cutting edge of errors here!
One thing you can try is going into your preferences and turning off ‘Reference Chat History’. That might help with the confusion!
Yeah, I’ve noticed it forgetting things I just told it and mixing up different topics. It’s really frustrating when you’re trying to have a coherent conversation!
I’ve been using this prompt generator that helps structure my requests to ChatGPT. It’s been really useful; you just fill in what you want and it gives you a solid prompt. It definitely improves the responses!
I’m dealing with this too! I asked for advice on a furniture delivery issue, and instead, I got a high-protein banana bread recipe. Super annoying!
For sure! It doesn’t seem to keep chats entirely separate like it should.
