Hackers exposed three new functions of ChatGPT: remember who you are/upload files/switch workspace, client source code has been stripped

Source: Qubit

A mysterious screenshot, exposing ChatGPT new features (at least 3) that have not yet been launched.

Even the corresponding client source code was picked up, and some people specially built a GitHub warehouse to track code changes.

According to his observation, the relevant part of the code is being updated and improved, and it may not be far from the official release...

The currently known new features are:

My profile (my profile), you can fill in any information about yourself and let ChatGPT remember.

Talk to ChatGPT in the future, it will know who you are and what you like!

My files (my files), unpretentious upload and manage files.

It's unclear exactly how ChatGPT will interact with these files during a conversation, but the interface alone opens up a lot of room for imagination.

What's more important is "Workspace" (workspace).

The "···" three-dot button next to the workspace at the bottom implies that you can switch between different workspaces.

That is to say, in different scenarios such as work, study, life and entertainment, you can let AI use different styles to interact with you.

The earliest whistleblower @kocham_psy said that these functions are hidden in the code of the ChatGPT client, and can only be seen by accounts with access rights.

He wrote a browser user script to trick the website into giving his account access to all functions.

And a month ago, he used this method to discover the "Dialogue Sharing" function-about a week** before the official release of this function**.

With the last successful revelation as a basis, the new news this time seems to be a lot more reliable, and it has attracted more people to participate in the discussion and analysis.

**Do you want AI to remember who you are? **

For the new features, many netizens expressed their expectations.

This is the way to go, not GPT-5... uploading files can exponentially improve the quality of AI output.

Fans of the "Jailbreak" game said that this time the AI can remember the prompt words of the jailbreak, so that you don't have to enter it every time.

On the other hand, many people expressed concern about these new features.

Give your profile and life history to AI, which is how Facebook collects information and sends you personalized ads.

Regarding the function of uploading files, does anyone care if the uploaded files are safe and will they be used for AI training? .

In this regard, the suggestion of many netizens is to "always assume that anything you send to ChatGPT will be used for training, unless they explicitly say no".

Currently, the conversation data of the ChatGPT client will be used for training by default, and this setting is bound to the function of saving chat conversations.

If you want OpenAI to save chat records for you, you must accept that chat records are used to improve the model.

Finally, some netizens also suggested that this is not a function that only $20 Plus users can enjoy per month, right?

Sam Altman: User Experience Matters

Coincidentally, Time magazine recently interviewed OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

On the topic of UX (user experience), Altman hinted at the existence of new features more than once.

Altman said that user experience is very important, "not just the UI [user interface], but also the way of tuning the model to have a certain conversational style*".

ChatGPT's current interaction method is inspired by mobile phone text messages, but in the future, "two-way voice interaction" will be realized, and it will be real-time, just like two people talking.

As the model gets to know you better and becomes more capable, you can imagine a world where you only need a short conversation and the model does a lot of work on your behalf.

One More Thing

In fact, it is not ChatGPT's first initiative to let AI remember your information and preferences.

AI conversational search engine Perplexity AI has already launched a similar function first.

On Perplexity AI, in addition to filling in the self-introduction, location and the language you want the AI to use, the AI will ask more questions, which can also be used as a template for what information should be told to the AI.

• **Your hobbies or interests? **Let the AI learn about your personality and what you like in your free time.
• **Your professional background? **Let AI understand your level of expertise and experience, and customize conversations accordingly.
• **Your goals or ambitions? **Let AI understand your motivation for doing things.

After filling in, you can try to let AI write a story about yourself, or recommend recipes or movies for you more accurately based on your preferences.

If you are interested in this kind of function, you can experience it on PerplexityAI now.

Or think about your answers in advance according to these questions, and tell ChatGPT directly after it is updated in the future~
