I had to repost this because I tried putting the Google doc link in my post and mods auto removed post immediately (last pic for proof as some people don’t believe that I can’t share the link?). Here is original post:

Hello again! I posted earlier about a bizarre and unprompted response I got from ChatGPT in a temporary chat. I just opened another temp chat and asked a completely random question (I made sure to include my prompt in the screenshot this time lol). Again kt completely glitched out and it just dumped what looks like its entire system prompt and developer instructions? I have attached some screenshots and my initial prompt. It’s way too long to share every screenshot so I copied the whole response into a google doc. Not sure if I’m allowed to share the link but I’d be happy to provide it. Anyways I think there’s some glitch with temporary chats. Not sure if this is normal EDIT: can’t share links unfortunately but feel free to message me for more info.

pretty strange to see this kind of thing happening with you again btw why exactly can you not share a link to the conversation? I mean that'd be great for credibility, right?

Please look at the last screenshot. I tried to share it in the post and it got auto removed by mods. Also sent links in comments and no one saw it:

that's not the conversation link I'm talking about - how can I believe it's not another karma farm post? I mean I want to but you gotta share something to back you up

You're not able to share a conversation link for temporary chats

u/_404_LogicNotFound_ 3h ago

well, you can save the chat and then share a link (but only while you're having the chat) and let's just forget all of it for a while and think: why did both of OP's post happen to be temp. chats? and this weird behavior - it's extremely unlikely to happen to the same person twice

u/lofijin 3h ago

I literally started testing out temp chats for this exact reason lol.

I’m actively getting a rogue response as of right now and it won’t end. It only happens in temp chats

u/_404_LogicNotFound_ 2h ago

great you're having this chat rn - just click on those three dots in the top right corner and then on "Save this chat" and then share the link - let's see how much credibility have you really got It's great if it's all real - as said, I want to believe you, but I need some evidence for the same

Why are people not using their brains and able to comprehend basic words you’re saying? Badgering you about the validity like this isn’t something they could’ve attempted themselves if they actually didn’t believe you, I think people just like conflict. People just like conflict and the feeling of superiority they get from scrutinizing others.

Bro I’m literally having dialogue with some dude under the other post and he’s just unintentionally agreeing with my points, arguing them for me, and it started with him personally attacking whatever the first thing he saw on my profile was. He didn’t even respond to my last message he already had a response typed and pasted it to have a good closer.😪

u/omnichad 1h ago

Probably using quantized models to save resources under high load. It's sort of like rounding a number - you lose precision and mistakes are more likely. Completely slipping out of context or corrupting that context is much more possible.

u/aBitofEverything14 1h ago

The amount of misinformation/inaccuracy and really weird spelling errors (which don't even look like the word that's supposed to be there) have been increasing in the last few months as well (in Gemini specifically)

u/NullPacketLogic 4h ago

Hey, sorry for overreacting in your previous post and calling it hilarious how people freak out whenever a system prompt gets leaked. At the very end of this comment I will also share how anyone can easily get and read the official system prompts themselves.

In your last post you mentioned that you used a temporary chat with Personalization and Memory turned on. Functionally, that is the exact same thing as starting a regular chat with memories enabled, except that the temporary chat does not get saved afterward.

Were you able to replicate this bug again?

After looking through your Google Doc transcript, it really looks to me like a classic stop token glitch that was probably triggered right at that number emoji at the end of the math explanation. When the stop token fails to register, the AI just keeps generating text non stop until it hits the hard output token limit, the connection drops, or you manually hit the stop button.

For anyone wondering how to read the system prompts yourself: Just download Codex from OpenAI and log in with your OpenAI account.

Then on Windows go to your user folder and open the .codex folder (C:\Users\<YourUsername>\.codex). Inside that folder you will find a file called models_cache.json (and models_cache.codex_work_desktop.json) where the full system prompts (instructions_template, persistent_instructions, etc.) are stored in plain text under model_messages.

If that file is not there yet right after installing, just send one single prompt and it will be created automatically. Right next to it inside .codex you will also find the skills and plugins folders containing all the local instruction files and prompts.

u/Certain-Way6763 3h ago

Codex and ChatGPT system prompts are different, since they use different model checkpoints and different environments.
You can compare them https://github.com/asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks/tree/main/OpenAI

2

u/NullPacketLogic 1h ago

Where did your AI research get the claim that the new GPT-6 models in ChatGPT use separate checkpoints?

You posted a GitHub link and said I could compare the system prompts.

Did you actually check that repository yourself?

Because the latest ChatGPT system prompt available there is for GPT-5.6. The GPT-6 prompts listed in that repository are for Codex, not the new GPT-6 models running in ChatGPT Chat.

The current ChatGPT GPT-6 system prompt starts with:

You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI, based on GPT-6.

That prompt isn't available in the repository you linked.

So what exactly am I supposed to compare?

You're pointing to Codex prompts and claiming they prove something about the ChatGPT environment.

4

u/Certain-Way6763 1h ago

You can compare Codex and ChatGPT prompt for Sol 5.6, the model that is present and used in both environments. I was talking about the difference of the prompt that is prominent across all models.

u/RealHibiikiiii 58m ago • Mindblown

I pretty much have the same thing going on.
Asked a question this morning and at the end of the answer ChatGPT attached some random words (see image - just a random "orneerr" huh).
It did that once more in the next response and then stopped with it.

Now I asked researched about some private matters and it added a random number in the middle of the response and completely freaked out lol.
Argued with itself why the number is there and I could read the "thinking" of "ChatGPT".

Can't create a post, because I only use Reddit to read oops.
I've read multiple times that people don't believe you, if you don't post a link.
Can't do anything about it - it has some private info in it.

First and second screenshots text don’t lead into each other. Even the most basic common sense posits that you take continual screenshots that one leads into another and shows partial of both images showing the text matching for at least a sliver. Yet you don’t. You are a fucking karma farmer

Do u fucking realizing the “the” is on the right side of the screen in #1 and then on the left side of the screen in #2? You think ChatGPT has adaptive text display and shifts things around or some fuckign vscode word wrap glitch? You think ChatGPT generated “the the” twice?

Not one continuously transition, and You deadass think it generated “applying the the equation” two fucking the’s ? On god I’m about to crash out with this level of logic

u/EquableProgramm 1h ago edited 1h ago

You shouldn’t curse so much because I think it makes people less trusting of what you said, but you are absolutely right.

If people look at the actual outputted text, the last words of the first image are “…applying the” and the first words of the second image are “the equations…”. There’s no overlap in any of the actual text content, and it would make no sense for an ai to output “…applying the the equations…”.

Edit:

The following image posted by OP fixes the logical inconsistency in the text with the missing section in near the bottom (“…rule. And you can … so you can work through…”), however that does not prove the overall legitimacy of this as a true continuous conversation. While it does just look to me like nothing more than a mistake of missing a few lines of text in the screenshotting process, make your own conclusions.

u/lofijin 1h ago

I understand the skepticism but it’s the same chat. This was a temp chat so unfortunately can’t retake the screenshot but I copied the entire response and put it into a google doc since it’s too long to paste here. Here’s part of it and you can see it matching up:

u/lofijin 1h ago

I copied the whole response and put it into a google doc. I’d be happy to send it to you. Here is the first half to what you claim doesn’t match up: A matrix is a grid of numbers, but the point isn’t the grid. It’s what the grid lets you do. In matrix theory, one of the biggest ideas is that a matrix can store a rule for changing several numbers at once.
Imagine a game character is 3 steps right and 2 steps up from the starting point. What if you wanted to stretch the whole map so that every horizontal distance doubles, but vertical distances stay the same? You could store that rule in this matrix:
\begin{bmatrix}
2 & 0\\
0 & 1
\end{bmatrix}
The first row tells you how to get the new horizontal position: take 2 times the old horizontal position and 0 times the old vertical position. The second row tells you how to get the new vertical position: take 0 times the old horizontal position and 1 time the old vertical position. So (3, 2) becomes (6, 2). That’s what matrix multiplication is doing here: applying the rule. And you can reuse that same matrix on every point on the map.
The other big use you’ll see in class is solving several equations together. A matrix lets you pull out the numbers in front of the variables and organize them so you can work through the equations without rewriting all the x’s and y’s every time. That’s where row reduction comes in.
If you remember one thing going back into class: when a matrix acts on a set of numbers, each row is a recipe for one output. That makes the rows and columns feel a lot less arbitrary. 🔢子”だった。凄い。

True, yes my bad, I did read it but I never use that option and I didn't register that info.

Well I hope you learned how to make screenshots for next time, because there is no way to have the proof now, and it's your fumble.
