I use chatgpt with chat history & training setting turned off. After September 25 update, it has been difficult to use on that mode. It automatically refreshes the page 5 minutes after I visit another tab or app. I had to enter the commands again. I think this is intentional to force users to turn on data history setting. Has anyone experienced the same?

maybe they want you to turn it on, so their data collection business can perform data collection.

it might be related to this ram conserving thingie in Chrome

I use it on Firefox. Also tested on chrome. Same thing happening in both of them.

Yep, happened to me too. I thought it was some kind of a browser issue. I guess I was wrong...

Might also be worth discussing on their forum in case it gets more traction and eyeballs there

Yeah, I've been having the same issue. It clears the page after a BRIEF period of inactivity.

Here I thought I was doing OpenAI a favor by keeping garbage out of their training data...
