On Wednesday, ChatGPT owner OpenAI patched a flaw that allowed a small number of users to see others’ chatbot discussion titles.
The patch will prevent users from accessing chat history between 1 am and 10 am on March 20, Chief Executive Sam Altman tweeted.
we had a significant issue in ChatGPT due to a bug in an open source library, for which a fix has now been released and we have just finished validating.

Since its introduction late last year, ChatGPT has grown rapidly as people worldwide used its prompts to write poems, books, jokes, and film scripts.
OpenAI, supported by Microsoft Corp., released GPT 4, an AI model, last week. ChatGPT users had access to GPT 3.5 on November 30.
