Currently, when chatGPT responds, the page scrolls. A scrolling text might be difficult to read. What I do to mitigate this visualization issue is: I wait for the first few lines to appear and then scroll the page a little backwards to disable autoscrolling.
This is fine at first, but it becomes very annoying when you need to do this trick for just every reply.
On the other hand, disabling auto-scrolling is not an option. In this case, you would have to scroll manually every time, including scenarios when you switch to another tab to wait until the response is fully received and then switch back.
Proposition
There might be an option to start every reply from “a new page”. Just like what chatGPT already does when you start a new chat.
Let me show what I mean.
Imagine I entered a prompt:
2 Likes
And chatGPT starts to reply:
What is happening here is it’s scrolling the page with every new line.
But if I start a new chat, see what happens.

Step 2, chatGPT starts replying in “a new page”:
My proposition is to make this behaviour available not only for the first question-answer pair but for the entire chat.
However, I don’t see a good reason to show my question on the response page, so I’d also hide the question. What if takes a lot of space, right?
And in those rare cases when you forget your own question, just scroll back a little, right?

So stupid for such a smart application. Chat GPT devs, if you even care, DISABLE AUTO SCROLL SO I CAN READ THE TEXT BECAUSE HUMANS CAN NOT READ TEXT THAT IS CONSTANTLY MOVING.
Also, MAKE RESPONSES DELIVER ALL AT ONCE. I DON’T KNOW WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE THE CHAT EMULATE HUMAN BEHAVIOR BY MAKING IT SPIT OUT RESPONSES WORD BY WORD BUT IT IS A MASSIVE WASTE OF TIME.
Also, STOP ASKING ME TO “CONTINUE GENERATING” WHEN ASKING FOR IT TO WRITE CODE. JUST DO IT ALREADY. EVEN ON THE PAID PLANS IT DOES THIS.
Also no search option on desktop? Whats whack too. Chat gpt is whack.

I have the opposite problem, it doesn’t scroll down automatically at all and I have to manually scroll down each time after sending a message to be able to see ChatGPT’s answer. Man, OpenAI has single-handedly revolutionized the universe AI-wise, but they’re certainly a bit lacking in the web development department… they should hire me. I’m cheap!

When I saw this for the first time, I couldn’t believe that the developers had actually allowed such a blunder. A company of this level has left this UX/UI issue unresolved for so long…

I just deleted the ChatGPT. The one who did such stupid UI behavior should be fired
