Dear OpenAI Team,
I would like to report an issue with the ChatGPT web interface that affects the user experience and could be improved with a few optimizations.
Problem Description:
- Slow Conversation Switching & Freezing
- When switching to an older conversation, the system reprocesses the entire chat from the beginning.
- This significantly increases loading time and can freeze the browser, especially for long discussions.
- Loss of Uploaded Files
- If a file was uploaded during a conversation, it gets lost when switching to another thread or changing models.
- When returning to the same conversation, the system still references the missing file, leading to errors.
Suggested Improvements:
Local caching of conversations → Store and retrieve conversations without reprocessing them from scratch.
Automatic reloading of uploaded files → Ensure that previously uploaded files remain accessible when switching between conversations.
Resume from the last state instead of reprocessing everything → This would improve performance and reduce unnecessary server load.
Expected Benefits:
Faster response times → No need to reload entire conversations repeatedly.
Better user experience → No loss of files or important context.
Less server load for OpenAI → More efficient processing and caching.
Since this issue affects multiple users, implementing these optimizations would significantly improve the ChatGPT experience.
Thank you for considering this request. I appreciate your continuous efforts in improving the platform.
Best regards,
Krisztián paulikovics
