I have encountered a bug while using ChatGPT’s image generation feature. After requesting an image, I pressed the “Stop Generating” button, but the loading indicator continued indefinitely. Even after refreshing the page and restarting the app, the issue persists.
It seems that the system does not properly halt the generation process after pressing “Stop,” causing it to remain stuck in a loading state. Please look into this issue and let me know if there are any updates or fixes available.
I have this problem too. It’s awful because it completely prevents me from being able to send any more messages or even go through the chat tree. There needs to be a way to hard stop image generation to allow for sending more prompts. As is it, any chat can now be a tickong time bomb, it’s terrifying! They really really need to fix this ASAP.
i am also encountering this issue - did it ever resolve for you all
a workaround i found - go on the desktop app and send a prompt in that thread, it worked there and then go back to the web version and it should be unstuck now
Im experiencing this issue too. I tried downloading the desktop app but it still wont let me send a prompt in the thread that is “stuck”. I don’t see the send button and when I type something and press enter, it doesn’t send.
I noticed that the chat is actually stuck generating an image from a couple hours ago… The image is stuck in a “Finishing Touches” state. Ive sent a lot of different messages since that image, but that image is still stuck in that state. The “Finishing Touches” is still changing colors as if it the back-end was still processing.
have the same problem, it is stuck in “finishing touches” for over a day now, and the chat is completely stuck, can’t send any more messages.
it’s a shame, it’s a long project i’ve been working on, and now it seems i cant continue
Got this issue too. I even tried archiving this conversation and then retrieving it, but the problem still persisted. Please fix it @devs
Same issue. The new image generation features were working so beautifully in creating a consistent character, but with a stuck image generation, there’s no way to continue it.
I found a workaround that seemed to resolve my issue. Whenever I attempted to access the chat through the ChatGPT website, the image would get stuck generating. However, when I logged into ChatGPT using the mobile app, the image stopped generating, and I was able to continue the chat. This also fixed the chat on the website. I hope this helps!
I found that the image finished generating and I can see it in the gallery, but my chat has been stuck at getting started since the 22nd.
I got around this by interacting with the stucked chat instance using advanced voice interaction from the phone app. I just said “Hello” to it and that worked.
The “Finishing touches” are still where they were, but now I can interact further and generate new ones.
I have got around this issue simply by using mobile app version and just saying “hi”. Then came back to online version on desktop and refreshed it.
I too have the same problem with web version. On my mobile app version, the problem has gone away but now the mobile app seems to generate two images of the same kind before completing. But if I check the library, I only get one of the two images, which is fine because they are the same anyway.
My workaround for the web version is to refresh the page.
I had the same issue, trying in the Windows app, a desktop web browser, and a mobile web browser. Happened 4 different times and I couldn’t even click the stop button.
The 5th time I used Co-Pilot (which uses the ChatGPT engine) and Co-Pilot gave me an error stating that it could not perform certain graphics modifications on people (I was trying to turn my friend’s skin blue, like an Avatar character). So apparently sometimes ChatGPT can just freeze on image generation if you’re violating a particular policy.
same issue.. the prompt gets stuck despite image is generated and doesn’t let me enter anything till I manually refresh. tried chrome, Edge all has same issue.
I am having this issue as well. Some other people are experience the same thing and it is annoying.
I am having this issue as well.
I am getting this as well only mine is stuck on “Adding Details” and wont go no matter what I do, I try to press the stop countless times and it wont respond it just flashes my text bar. I can’t even sign in on the mobile app either. It’s so annoying
ı 've faced same problem in gpt. ı edited my last message and delete image request. then ı could continue
