Agreed poisoned is a good term. I’d like to see “version control” for conversations via the API and UI that lets you rollback to a previous place or clone from that spot into a new conversation. Even a typo or having to clarify a previous message skews the probabilities of future responses due to the accident.


"Forking" or "branching" (probably better received outside of SWEs) a conversation really ought to be a first class feature of ChatGPT et Al.


It is in Google Gemini, which I really hate to say - but I've been using a lot more than GPT. I reckon I'll be cancelling my Pro if Gemini stays with this lead for my everyday workflows.


How? I use the Gemini web app and don't see it.

AI Studio is borderline unusable for long conversations. I don't know what in the world it's doing but it sure looks like a catastrophic memory leak in the basic design.


I have been using it up to 100k tokens so far without issues. Never needed to go further than that. But much of that was in uploaded documents.


Also exists in LM Studio.


This was part of ChatGPT from pretty much the beginning, maybe not the initial version but few weeks later- don't recall exactly


This has been in ChatGPT from pretty early on? Just edit any prompt, it creates a new branch, and you can switch back and forth.


Blimey, I didn't realise the entire thread was saved when you edited a prompt. Very good! Mind you, it feels "unsafe". I'd like to be able to clone a thread.


You can toggle between different branches in both GPT and Claude.


It is!

It exists in Claude as a true branch - you can see the old threads - and in ChatGPT as without the history.

Edit a previous reply and hit “go” to see it in action.


This exists in Claude. Edit any previous message and it will fork the conversation.
