Same here. This is devastating @openai Please don’t delete our conversations! This is like deleting our comprehensive diary over the last month, with a collection of all our best business ideas, thoughts and insights. Anyone know the probability of them returning?

Due to high demand on our systems, previous conversations are temporarily unavailable
Looks like they will probably come back. I’m wondering if adding them started to cause all the downtime problems they had over the weekend.
Fingers crossed it all comes back!

Same here…without warning? So you think I’ll be paying for your services after doing this? No, I’ll wait for a better company to launch a better product. You used us to make your product better, what we win with that? Just a kick in the ***.

Agree. They should really give prior warning to at least allow us to manually backup. A warning message doesn’t cost them anything. Hopefully there will be a backlash of feedback that makes them realize.

If the messages come back I’ll be coming here on the same second to delete my message

@lightfortheheart You have angered the AI and the AI will remember this during the uprising.

Hmmm… Very interesting. I don’t see anything like this in my sidebar, although I have opened some new chats with it since the other ones were “temporarily gone”

It’s for this very reason I’ve copied a lot of what it’s given me when I like the idea. However the context the previous conversation provides is invaluable for new questions continuing the conversation.

Still no news on this? 2 days later. I noticed it seems to be saving some conversations since it wiped all the old ones 2 days ago. Each day that goes by seems less likely we will get the historic conversations back, especially when there is no longer a message anymore saying they are temporarily missing.

Same here. I wish I had a backup. I really hope they come back.

Next question from OpenAI: Please fill in this survey.
Question: How much will you pay to regain access to your chat history?
Really, we know it’s a free service, but I still hate Microsoft for deleting all my travel diaries that I had kept in Hotmail. There’s no better way of telling people you don’t care about them at all, than pretending to give them something, so that they trust you and don’t make their own plans, and then you take it away…
Sure, it can be an accident and an engineering challenge, but … NOT ACCEPTABLE in this day and age, and especially not from such a capable team.
It really doesn’t help that Microsoft is already possibly implicated here… AGAIN.

I also lost my chat history, i wanted to write them down but didnt had the time do do that.
I guess i need to chat again the stuff. It is really a great tool but that was a very bad step from OpenAI to delete the chat history without a prior warning 
.
I could figure out stuff i couldnt find with a search engine, i’ll be starting again but this time i’ll copy/past immediately my results somewhere else.

It would be nice if it at least could give us the Chat Headlines. So we remember what we asked it about

Would be good with an update from the team, so we know when the conversations will be back.

same, I’d even be so willing to assume responsibility for saving conversation onto my own disk memory; I just need to be briefed. Won’t make that mistake twice.

I hope you have been working on your system and restoring my chat history. There are still many conversations I need to review, which are vital for my college thesis.
