Since the issue has persisted for quite some time and I find the new model/personality updates horrible, I’ve started exploring and discovered Claude AI. I’m currently testing it, but so far there are many aspects that I like significantly more than with ChatGPT. It takes a little more work to get the same results in certain cases, but I like the reasoning more, it’s a bit more creative and I find it to be closer to my preferences.
I am a ChatGPT Business subscriber and I’ve used it extensively over the last year, but I really don’t like where it’s headed and I don’t want it to agree with me and keep the conversation going, but rather help me identify flaws and establish creative strategies/approaches.
I also hate it that ChatGPT appears to suggest using third party products or provides void answers instead of suggesting technical approaches. I’ve tested it with several problems and it tends to establish a loop of “buy X” or “use machine learning” until I ask it explicitly about techniques and strategies to use in a specific situation. Claude, on the other hand, mentions the generics but touches on the deep dive, too.
Hi everyone
HERE IS A SOLUTION/WORKAROUND THAT WORKS
-
(Optional) If you can and if not already the case, create a project with a system prompt that will give ChatGPT a lot of context to continue your discussion on the same tone, expertise, etc
-
(Optional) If you can and not already the case, move your long/blocked/laggy discussion inside this project
-
While being on the long/blocked/laggy press CTRL+A or CMD+A to copy the whole content of the page
-
Open Word or Google Docs, whatever
-
Use CTRL+SHIFT+V (and NOT CTRL+V) to paste the text without the formatting
=> You should obtain a very long Word document with the whole text dump of your blocked/laggy conversation
-
Remove bits of text at the beginning and end of the document that is not part of the discussion (you will see other discussions’ names, etc)
-
Save your Word document in a folder (Cloud-linked if possible) and name it something like mysuperdiscussion1.docx
-
In the ChatGPT project (if possible, otherwise just in your convos) create a new, blank discussion
-
Upload you .docx into the new discussion and say to ChatGPT something like “Based on this document please continue the discussion”
IMPORTANT : Remember, in time, to keep all the docx in a folder, named mysuperdiscussion1.docx, mysuperdiscussion2.docx etc
You will be able to give them all back to ChatGPT each time you start a new discussion to replace a laggy/long one. It will act as the “memory” of your conversation
And voilà 
Oh man thank you sooooo much I was looking for a fix for this for so long man, again thank u soooo much bro
Same issue here, I’ve been, continuing long conversations in new chats for that reason. I think the cause is just the sheer amount of HTML the browser has to render on long conversations, with all the pretty formatting and such. If the actual conversation was not loaded fully in the browser but instead would use “load more” feature, I doubt this would happen.
same i have a chat for chatting DSA and CS stuff, its pretty long as I have been using last 4 semesters, its a breeze for the IOS app but on laptop, it takes 10-15 seconds to load, and for a new response it doesn’t stream the response it just freezes the whole page and I check back 1-2 mins later and there would be the complete answer
I’ve been experiencing memory retention problems for at least the past week, from after 10th April. Unfortunately the problems have become progressively worse ever since. I’ve reached out to support 6 times already this past week (via email) but keep getting fluff replies and no help, escalation route or assistance. I’m rather cross to be honest, as I’m a paying plus user and they wont even help me try to resolve it.
To improve getting help, if this is a problem others are seeing, is to post your problem as new topic with details so that others inclining the OpenAI staff can recreate it.
If others on the forum see and/or can recreate the problem then they will most likely chime in with a me too reply in your new topic.
If the topic then explodes with others noting the same it will get noticed and passed up the chain.
As it currently stands you are just adding to an existing post and often these are not noticed.
HTH
Is this a Chrome-related issue? Which browser best supports long chats? This is really frustrating if you have a long chat and you cannot really get out of the chat. Even writing anything in the chat box is extremely slow and does not respond most of the time.
it keeps saying load failed or giving uncorrect answers
