A bug has been reported on Reddit etc. from around March 20, 2023 local time that the chat contents of others are displayed in ChatGPT's chat history. When Bloomberg confirmed with an OpenAI spokesperson, it seems that 'other user's chat titles were displayed' in the chat history part displayed on the left side of the ChatGPT page. After receiving this bug report, OpenAI temporarily shut down ChatGPT and worked on fixing the bug.
A user who encountered a ``bug that displays other people's chat history'' has released how part of the chat history of others was displayed in ChatGPT's chat history on Twitter. Looking at this, you can see that what was displayed in the history part was a part of the chat, and not all the chat contents were visible.
If you use #ChatGPT be careful! There's a risk of your chats being shared to other users!

Although ChatGPT itself can be used at the time of article creation, the chat history on the left side of the screen will display 'History is temporarily unavailable. We are working to restore this function as soon as possible.' It has been revealed that it is generally unavailable.
According to a spokesperson, one of the open source software used in ChatGPT caused a bug, and OpenAI is still investigating the cause of the problem at the time of writing the article.
In addition, the ChatGPT FAQ warns that `` Please do not share confidential information in chat, '' and OpenAI cannot delete specific prompts from personal chat history, and the conversation content can be used for training. It is described as having sex.
