You also notice the trickery going on?…
I asked it to help me code something. Then it stopped midway through, so I asked it to continue from the last line.
…It started from the beginning.
Now at the same point, I asked it not to stop. To keep going.
It started again from the beginning.
It went like this for about another 10 or so prompts. Hell, I even asked it to help me write a better prompt to ask it to continue from the line it cut off and I then used that. It didn’t work at all.
Then I ran out of prompts.
Three hours later, it did the same crap to me and I lost around 14 prompts to it being ‘stuck’ in an eternal loop.
Basically, OpenAI are sneaky devils. ‘Stuck’ my ass - that was intentional to free up resources.
or maybe you need to stop thinking everything is a conspiracy and realize bugs happen I've been using GPT everyday for the last 3 years, it never happened to me
Maybe you can take your “stop thinking everything is a conspiracy” quote to someone who thinks everything is a conspiracy… as in right back at yourself, conspiracy believer.
You can just send a single space character to get the AI to continue its previous output.
Oh, neat. Thanks for the tip. I usually say "Please continue," but sometimes it reiterates too much of what it stated previously. (I've tried "Please continue where you left off," and so far that has worked 1/1 times that I've tried it.)
I’ll try it. I have tried absolutely everything else, so may as well.
Where did you read that? You’d think it would be there for people to read right next to the prompt.
It's emergent behavior, not something hardcoded into the model. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I read it originally...
