High CPU Web Workers usage of ChatGPT when not is use

ChatGPT Bugs
150

It’s still happening here (Linux, Firefox, PureOS Byzantium).
I’m investigating using Firefox debug console.
Lots of these 404s:

Source map error: Error: request failed with status 404

This is happening inside InterpretGeneratorResume. I’m taking this as meaning when it is going through the conversation history to work out what to feed into the GPT with your query.

I have ublock origin, and I’m in Australia. I’m not sure if there isn’t something wrong with their CDN, which then results in a lot of rapid retries from the browser that then sucks a lot of CPU time.

This has become so disabling in terms of using the web interface, that I’m basically moving to using the ChatGPT API, so that I don’t get frustrated with the CPU fan noise and multi-minute waits for short responses to short questions.

Anyone else able to check in Firefox inspector to see if they are also seeing these 404s in the openai CDN?

I’ve sent them an email, and also via chat support thingo indicating that I can reproduce this problem reliably for them. Let’s see if I just get the useless canned response, or something more useful.
