ChatGPT Bug Exposed People’s Conversation History (CNET)

What you need to know:

On Wednesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the “significant issue in ChatGPT” was the result of a “bug in an open source library”.

  • The bug exposed titles of some users’ past conversations to other users.
  • Open AI disabled ChatGPT to fix the issue on Monday.
  • It impacted a small percentage of users whose chat histories from 1am to 10am PDT will not be accessible.

This serves as a reminder to all of us to be cautions when using AI tools, especially during beta/testing phases.
