ChatGPT Group Chats Now Available Worldwide

[MacRumors]

OpenAI today announced the worldwide rollout of group chats in ChatGPT, allowing multiple people to collaborate with ChatGPT in a shared conversation. OpenAI started testing group chats with a small number of people last week, but the feedback was positive so it is now expanding the feature to everyone.

With group chats, ChatGPT users can create a shared conversation space and invite friends, family, or coworkers. Group chats are separate from private conversations, and OpenAI says that the group creator's personal ChatGPT memory is never shared with anyone in the chat.

According to OpenAI, group chats can be useful for planning a weekend trip with friends, designing a backyard garden, collaborating on design ideas, finding a restaurant that suits everyone's tastes, or settling debates. Group chats can also be used for research for school or work projects, incorporating shared articles, notes, and questions.

Creating a group chat can be done by tapping on the people icon in the top right corner of any new or existing chat. People can be invited by sharing a link, and anyone with the link can invite more people, with up to 20 supported. Group chats are aggregated in a clearly-labeled section of the sidebar, separate from personal chats.

OpenAI says ChatGPT was taught new social behaviors for group chats. It follows the flow of conversation and decides when to respond and when to stay quiet based on the context of the conversation. Mentioning ChatGPT in a message will prompt it to respond, and ChatGPT can react to messages with emojis.

Group chats are available to all logged-in users on free, Go, Plus, and Pro ChatGPT plans. OpenAI says that it will continue to refine the feature as more people start using it.

So ChatGPT which has been around for 3 years can talk to multiple people at once, and Siri which has been around for 14 years can barely speak to one 😂

I’d like to try this new way of interacting with ChatGPT without involving anyone else… maybe I can set a second account on my iPad to test drive this, and see if it reveals anything from what I’ve shared with GPT in previous chats, or how does it react when two people disagree or have an argument in front of it.

Yeaaah, no.

I know too many people that are insufferable in the way they use ChatGPT and literally can't seem to make a decision/opinion without it and refuse to recognize that how they ask and how they've interacted with it in the past has influence in how it responds because, in the end, it is programmed to please the user. How is it going to handle 4 people with diverse opinions, subtexts, preferences and styles?

This thing will have the power to ruin relationships. lol.

Does it take on the settings/profile of the person that creates the chat? Because holy moly does that seem dangerous. Someone could start an account, acclimate it to whatever point of view they want and then invite 20 unsuspecting people into their sycophantic gaslighting chamber.
