For unknown reasons, since the day before yesterday, whenever the response from GPT includes any version of GetComponent, there have been stalling issues. GPT-4 stops responding entirely, while GPT-3 enters a loop of continuous error outputs and fails to provide an answer. ---

I confirm that I am also having an issue. THe issue seems to be with the \<\> tokens ---

Why did ChatGPT refuse to host a party for TypeScript developers? Because every time they used ``, it thought they were narrowing down the guest list! ---

Same issue here. Can’t get any code work done as it often contains GetComponent and then ChatGPT stalls and crashes… no fun. ---

I found a workaround! When requesting code edits or examples from ChatGPT and it stalls on angle brackets, ask it to use alternative brackets such as [and] for \< and \>, and then replace them in your code editor. This worked like a charm and ChatGPT produces code effortlessly. You will have to manually replace the symbols yourself through find and replace though… ---

Thank you for the solution you provided. I tried setting up rules like that, but it still uses when dealing with long code. So, I still hope GPT can recover soon. ---

Same problem here. Disabling the memory feature or downgrading to v3.5 did not help. React w/Typescript. ---

I have the same issue as well with v4, any response with angle brackets “\<” or “\>” causes the system to stall and return an incomplete answer. The workaround provided by @HankdenDrijver does seem to work, so thanks for that.
