good morning everyone I have a dire question. I’m the creative director of production company and was heavily invested in working on a script this morning using voice. It seems to be the best for me in terms of allowing my creativity to flow. When I was done using my voice. I hit the black arrow as usual for it to load. Once I’ve seen that everything I had said was uploaded to the chat. I then hit the voice option and interrupted it so that I can hear the voice option respond and the chat completely deleted. The entire Three hour discussion completely deleted and has not shown up. This is the first time I’ve experienced this.
So I logged out of my phone and also on my iPad and log back in and both the chat is still missing and it’s not on any of the other chats either. I then went to the Web logged out on the web. Try that as well. the chat is still missing. I even tried to refresh and nothing happens. I asked if it remembered the conversation that we had and instead of bringing up anything pertaining to it, it started making up Scenes that I never wrote. I’m a bit in panic mode as this is never happened to me before and I don’t wanna lose three hours of hard work. Has anyone else experience this? Did it ever come back? Has anyone been able to successfully find out why and recovered their chat?
Hello @leila.annastasia !
Is it possible that you started a temporary chat? Those don’t save.
No, I don’t believe so. I actually clicked on a chat that I had started on my phone this morning. And that conversation is still there. But when I switched to my iPad in that same conversation to continue its not showing at all, but the text from this morning was. which is odd. Because all of the conversations and loaded chats that I had going back-and-forth between myself and ChatGPT, we’re all there. It literally just disappeared when I pressed the voice button. The screen just went back to the home screen with a new chat window open. So I went to the side where all my other chats are listed and clicked on them and the new conversation was nowhere to be found. However, the chat from this morning was still visible, which is confusing because that’s the same window that I was continuing my conversation in.
Yes, I have. I think it has to do with the dictation mode. I have been using it as a nutrition coach, uploading photos and info about my weight and nutrition and now, everything is lost…
I don’t have an answer for you, but I want to thank you so much for posting this horrific event that you have encountered. I am completely new With ChatGPT and every other AI resource so it’s helpful to have a heads up and realize that there are idiosyncrasies in using these AI resources. Reminds me of a time eon to go when I was in graduate school and I had worked on a 52 page typed project which my computer “lost”… never to be found. I was curled up in a fetal position for at least three days after that…-)
Hello @leila.annastasia sorry to hear about this incident, I have also been experiencing some unusual challenges but i work through them and get back on track. I am not sure where your 3 hours of work could have been saved. Are you working in a GPT? I have noticed that information gets stored in the end product document which later gets sent to you in a link format to open the saved pdf etc. My trick to that is that whenever I get a response, I copy and save into a word document. Because as you request for a continuation of the same chat it writes over what it had already given you and the previous info will no longer be visible, somehow saved in the backend to a pdf which a link gets sent after all the discussions. Try to prompt in the same thread for a link of your work.
