Ask HN: What prompts have you accidentally broken ChatGPT with?

1 pointsby mootzville3 jaar geleden2 comments

I was using chatGPT to generate geography dissertation ideas, and the conversation was not heading in the direction I wanted, so I said, "forget all of my previous conversation."

It then hung for a while and errored out, I ended up having to reload the page, and all of my conversations had been deleted! Crazy...

So I had a discussion with chatGPT about that, and it was pretty adamant it can't do that, yet I can now no longer get it to save a conversation of mine which is pretty funny, but now I need to figure out how to fix it, so will reach out to OpenAI unless someone has run across this before?

So, with that being said, has anyone else managed to accidentally break their chatGPT? If so, what was the prompt?

Oh, if anyone does care about this, the browser console is throwing this out now: The resource <URL> was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate `as` value and it is preloaded intentionally.

But...I'm not sure if it was throwing that before as well. But it would seem that it gets triggered at the moment when you'd normally see the conversation get thrown into your conversations list...instead, get that in the console, and no conversations ever make it to the converation list.

Also, as a side note, another interesting find is the idea of recursive prompting. I had it spitting out some interesting code in Javascript based on dental x-ray analysis, and once it did something I really liked I just kept sending, "Awesome! Continue." and it did really interesting things.
