Hallo
I have two proposals, written for me by ChatGPT "him"self based on two requests from me. I’ve read it and I confirm it reflects my ideas:
Part 1: Selective and Intentional Conversation Sharing
Currently, ChatGPT conversations are private and do not contribute to shared knowledge, even when they contain non-sensitive, broadly useful solutions.
I propose a feature called “Share up to here”, allowing users to mark a portion of the conversation as:
Non-private
Shareable with other users
Taggable and categorizable
Users could click a button at any point in the conversation to publish the selected part of the chat, making it:
- Accessible in a public knowledge base (e.g., help DOT openai DOT com or community DOT openai DOT com)
- Or visible to other users facing similar questions or challenges
Real-world example:
I figured out how to renumber channels on an LG TV model 32LK6200PLA which normally doesn’t allow that. It’s not sensitive info — just trial and error. “Share up to here” would let me publish this workaround for others searching for “LG TV custom channel order”.
Part 2: Delegating Simple Actions to ChatGPT When Explicitly Asked
In addition, I suggest enabling ChatGPT to perform certain actions on the user’s behalf when explicitly requested. These could include:
- Sending feedback or proposals to OpenAI or GitHub
- Publishing parts of the conversation in a shared knowledge base or public forum
- Creating structured GitHub issues or posts based on the chat
Examples of allowed user commands:
- “Submit this suggestion to OpenAI”
- “Post this workaround to the help forum”
- “Open a GitHub issue with this summary”
Benefits:
- Unlocks valuable information otherwise buried in private chats
- Empowers users to contribute insights with minimal friction
- Enhances ChatGPT from a passive tool into an active collaborator
- Maintains full user control — nothing is shared without consent
Thank you for considering this idea! It represents a step toward a more useful, community-driven, and collaborative AI experience.
