The boss of the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT said that a bug let some users see the titles of other users' chats.

People on Reddit and Twitter shared screenshots of chat logs that they said didn't belong to them.

Many users still worry about privacy on the site, though.

Since it came out in November of last year, millions of people have used ChatGPT to write notes, songs, and even code. 

Each conversation with the chatbot is saved in the user's chat log bar, where it can be looked at again later.

But on Monday, people started to see talks with the chatbot in their history that they said they hadn't had.

One Reddit user posted a picture of their chat history, which included things like the title "Chinese Socialism Development" and talks in Mandarin.  

The company told Bloomberg on Tuesday that it had turned off the robot for a short time on Monday night to fix the mistake.

They also said that users couldn't get to the chats themselves.

The CEO of OpenAI wrote on Twitter that a "technical postmortem" would be done soon. But because of the mistake, users are worried that their private information could be made public through the tool. 

The glitch seemed to show that OpenAI can see what users are saying in chats.

The company's privacy policy does say that user data, like prompts and answers, can be used to keep training the model.

But this data is only used after information that could be used to identify a person has been taken out. 

The mistake happened just one day after Google showed off its chatbot Bard to a group of beta testers and media.

Google and Microsoft, which has put a lot of money into OpenAI and is a big investor in it, have been competing for control of the growing market for AI tools.

But because of how often new products are updated and released, many people worry that mistakes like these could be harmful or have effects that were not meant.
