Owner of ChatGPT OpenAI resolves'significant issue' that exposed user chat titles

Owner of ChatGPT OpenAI claims to have fixed a bug that allowed a small group of users to view the titles of other users' conversation histories with the popular chatbot, which was a "significant issue."

Users were unable to access their chat history on March 20 as a result of the fix, Chief Executive Sam Altman stated in a tweet on Wednesday.

“We had a significant issue in ChatGPT due to a bug in an open-source library,” Altman said. “We feel awful about this.”

The titles of other users' conversations were not visible, according to a spokesperson for OpenAI who spoke to Bloomberg News: "The content of other users' conversations was not visible."

Altman said the company “will follow up with a technical postmortem”.
Since its release, ChatGPT has experienced rapid growth, with millions of users using the program for a variety of purposes, including streamlining the development of architectural designs or the coding process, as well as how we use search engines, write essays, draft messages, songs, novels, and jokes.

Every conversation is automatically saved, and ChatGPT assigns a tab label based on the first query's topic.

ChatGPT experienced rapid growth due to user demand for its prompts, leading to the release of GPT-4, an update to GPT-3.5, by OpenAI last week.

OpenAI launched GPT-4, an upgrade from GPT-3.5, which was made available to users through ChatGPT on November 30. This has driven people to Bing, and Google and Microsoft are investing in AI to reshape how people work and win business.
