Hi,
I’d like to request a feature for regular ChatGPT conversations that let you select an earlier reply from ChatGPT and have an embedded conversation that preserves the later conversation that already happened but lets you pick back up the earlier part of the conversation. This is already how it works for image generation within ChatGPT, where you can select the image and edit it with furthe prompts. This feature would allow users to simultaneously explore multiple aspects of of a ChatGPT response. Two examples are below.
Example #1 - A ChatGPT response references a tangential concept that I want to ask a clarifying question about but don’t want to lose the context of continuing the main interaction on the main topic. E.g., I enter a prompt ‘Why do rocket ships to the moon have to have radiation shielding?’ then the answer talks about Galactic Cosmic Rays. The next prompt in the main conversation is about rocket ships but I also want to ask a tangential question about Galactic Cosmic Rays, without the main conversation becoming about Galactic Cosmic Rays (i.e., main conversation continues as if there was no question about Galactic Cosmic Rays.
Example #2 - A three step plan is proposed. The next three follow-on prompts are individually about step 1, step 2 and step 3, which are each best generated directly in response to the plan and each may have questions or corrections, so three parallel threads would be great.
Situation:
Users currently can edit a prompt immediately replying to a ChatGPT reply to ask tangential questions or generate content where the immediate response is most important.
Complication:
By editing prompts, previous responses are lost (unless copied outside of ChatGPT) or questions last in the interaction can have lower relevance because they are influenced by more responses prompts and response.
Question:
Can a feature be implemented to allow replies to an earlier ChatGPT answer, so that the context of the follow-on prompt can be the same for multiple follow-ons?
Answer - Proposed Feature:
Reply option for ChatGPT answers, where the user can pick-up exactly where the interaction and context was.
Thank you
