Hi, and thanks for the points-to-ponder, but realize the forum is a “forum”, based on the Discourse web forum software, and that software’s pattern somewhat guides how user-to-user interactions happen here. This forum doesn’t have regular interactions with OpenAI staff in the manner of a customer support helpline. It’s primarily for discussion with your peers.
What you describe is the way people are going to act anyway just because the developer forum is here - post their unrealistic idea (“dating in ChatGPT please”) without search work or reading (and usually posting ignorable text written by AI) and then leave, never really engaging.
If OpenAI is mining the forum for ideas, they aren’t saying “thanks”. Particularly the ChatGPT (consumer web chatbot) feedback category is muted by default, and ideas go there to die.
The forum focus is on coding API and codex products, developer chat. This particular forum topic you’ve selected, “forum feedback”, is Feedback on how to make this developer forum better for you! " - not how to re-engineer reaching OpenAI.
For this forum, search can be powered by AI:
If you want aggregated feedback, press the downvote button in ChatGPT, and add your comments.
That is pinned with the AI generation that was unsatisfactory. Similar can also be done when in the API developer playground if enabling feedback thumbs up/down there for training.
If you want AI answers to your problems or feedback in private, you can send messages via help.openai.com with the chat there. Expect that for even escalations, it is an outsourced contractor resolving issues and making statistics.
