Recycling old responses
Anyone else having this problem?
I started noticing it a couple of days ago and hoped it was just a bug that they would find and fix quickly, but it's still happening and I think worse
I organize my chats into subjects/projects using the new notebook feature. And maybe this is what I'm doing wrong? But it started happening that, whenever I started a new chat, it would completely ignore my prompt and just give me what looked like a recycled answer from an old chat in the same notebook. It might not have been exactly the same answer, but at the very least it tried to answer a question I asked it weeks ago. When I told it what it was doing, it kept repeating the same old recycled answer. It wasn't until I instructed it to ground it's answer in my prompt that it finally started working properly. But if I continued the chat without starting my prompt with "ground your answer in my prompt" it still kept recycling old answers or answering old questions.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is it just in notebooks? What's goin on??? And how can I bring this immediately to the developers attention?
