ChatGPT-4 Download Link Not Displaying

I had ChatGPT-4 make modifications to a Word document and then make it available for download. Instead of getting the link, I’m getting what should be displayed as a link. Here’s the latest response:

I'm sorry for the confusion earlier. It seems there was an issue with the way the download link was being displayed. However, the file type or extension should not be causing this issue as .docx files are typically supported.

Let's try once more. If the problem persists, I'd recommend reaching out to OpenAI support for further assistance.

Here is the link to download the modified document:

The AI says the extension should not be the issue. Is it?

It converted the link to what it would be as Markdown.

I don’t know the solution but others are reporting other problems with completions being converted to Markdown. Check to see if they note a solution.

Same error, fixed by saying :
There were an error when you tried to display the download link
( I only have : “[Download the annotated PDF ] (sandbox:/mnt/data/FILENAME.pdf)”)

It then provided me a valid link

Did you do anything differently? Or just wait until it started working again? I’m having the sand issue. Fed it a txt file for easier parsing and wash hoping to get a formatted doc or pdf. Nada. Errors out every time.

sandbox:/mnt/data/health_and_safety_management_book.docx

Having the same problem I get:

[Download DEASDV XML] (sandbox:/mnt/data/deasdv.xml)

After generating an XML.

But that is not a valid URL. I ask ChatGPT to explain me how to download the file and it repeats to enter the link in the browser’s address bar and, of course, I get an error from Chrome.

I was able to get passed this problem by telling it to “Prompt my browser to download the image when complete”

I was able to get the link by prompting this…

“what if the full url where my image is stored”

The full URL for the modified image with the green background is:
https…

I managed to download the file after adding this line at the end of the prompt:

“The download link should start with https://”

This happened to me and it’s because the file name from the file I uploaded had spaces in the name.

Saw some other people above had the same issue - and saw that their file names had spaces as well. So thats probably why.

Ask gpt to replaces the spaces with underscores or anything else. And check your filename to see if there are any other characters in it that would mess it up.

If you are using a file from google, theres a chance it has spaces

hope this helps

same with me this is the chat:

Influential Programmers and Their Contributions

  1. Alan Turing
    • Contributions: Turing is often considered the father of computer science and artificial intelligence. He developed the concept of the Turing machine, which is a mathematical model of computation that defines an abstract machine. His work laid the foundations for the theory of computation and the design of modern computers.
    • Challenges Faced: Turing faced significant personal and professional challenges, including persecution due to his homosexuality, which was illegal in the UK at the time. This led to his prosecution and chemical castration.
    • Impact: Turing’s theoretical work is foundational to computer science. His contributions to breaking the Enigma code during World War II also had a profound impact on the outcome of the war and on the field of cryptography.

so i said make an ppt on this and this happened:

This worked for me. I used the following for the output.
prompt: rename the file “originaldoc_revised.docx” and download.

I have tried every single solution found on this forum and others (used another navigator, rename etc…) nothing worked for me!
