> they’ve had several leaks now where people can see others’ conversations and data

Do you have a source for this? I know some people have claimed to see others' data, but I haven't seen any evidence that that's what's actually being seen, vs LLM hallucinations. OpenAI claims, and I can't imagine they're lying, that the training data is fixed and ends in 2021, so I don't see how it would be possible for user prompts to be leaking into output, absent a massive and very unlikely bug (compared to the much more likely AI hallucination explanation).



Yep: https://openai.com/blog/march-20-chatgpt-outage

Some kind of concurrency bug in a library they were using to retrieve cached data from Redis led to this leak.

> We took ChatGPT offline earlier this week due to a bug in an open-source library which allowed some users to see titles from another active user’s chat history. It’s also possible that the first message of a newly-created conversation was visible in someone else’s chat history if both users were active around the same time.


I think they’re referencing this: https://openai.com/blog/march-20-chatgpt-outage
