BUG, reproducible, undefeatable

I just had over five minutes of typing a prompt destroyed by a new feature that makes ChatGPT almost useless for the type of input I would do.

I type a prompt for several lines of designing, then press [up] keyboard arrows to edit. AND THEN EVERYTHING WRITTEN IS GONE, REPLACED BY SUGGESTIONS.

Any solicitation of an image gets local fuzzy logic to pop up suggestions on you.

It seems there is a new action where an up or down keyboard arrow will toggle between suggested messages - and wipes the existing input contexts of the input box. This happens even several inputs into a chat with the new push that broke other stuff for others.

I go as far as shutting down all the browser productivity windows, restarting the browser with no extensions filtering or modifying things, hard-refresh the contexts, think that I can’t reproduce it on existing chats or a new input window with some pastes and start going back to work producing original words. Again BAM content destroyed with a typical editing key stroke.

Before

After one keypress “up”

The image shows a digital interface with a search bar asking "What can I help with?" and suggestions related to creating various themed images, such as a tutorial for cooking pasta. (Captioned by AI)

Yes, that’s at input number four now of multi-line typing, and typing, and then capturing it in action in a reproducible way.

Repro: Windows 10, Firefox 137 (latest), ChatGPT, keyboard

FIX. Nobody wants suggestions of an astronaut with a duck after planning a diagram for 200 characters.

This happens when we select “Create Image” from Toolbox.
If we don’t refresh the page, it never stop.

Yep. Images triggers it when everything else is disabled.

Going as far as to block the monitoring of every keypress sent to chatgpt.com/backend-api/conversation/experimental/generate_autocompletions

Clearing all the local storage manually.

Still there’s a script serving up mars ducks on its own without making a request.

I even went in and killed the prosemirror version of “ask anything” input and enabled the prior input in parallel, but its events are invalid or unserved JS in this gated feature.

A computer screen displays a text input field saying "Create an image of a duck on steroids. He's raging," with interface buttons below. (Captioned by AI)

Autocomplete suggestions and auto-correct are equally unbearable to me.
